Professor Stewart's Casebook of Mathematical Mysteries by Stewart, Ian

ISBN: 9781846683480 PUBLISHER: Profile Books Ltd FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 304 PUBLICATION DATE: 1.10.2015 DIMENSIONS: 19.8 x 12.9 x 2 centimetres

DESCRIPTION: Like its wildly popular predecessors, Cabinet of Mathematical Curiosities and Hoard of Mathematical Treasures, Professor Stewart's brandnew book is a miscellany of over 150 mathematical curios and conundrums, packed with trademark humour and numerous illustrations.In addition to the fascinating formulae and thrilling theorems familiar to Professor Stewart's fans, the Casebook follows the adventures of the notsogreat detective Hemlock Soames and his sidekick Dr John Watsup (immortalised in the phrase 'Watsup, Doc?'). By a remarkable coincidence they live at 222B Baker Street, just across the road from their more illustrious neighbour who, for reasons known only to Dr Watsup, is never mentioned by name. A typical item is 'The Case of the FaceDown Aces', a mathematical magic trick of quite devilish cunning.Ranging from oneliners to fourpage investigations from the frontiers of mathematical research, the Casebook reveals Professor Stewart at his challenging and entertaining best.
