Book ID/图书代码: 13560006B07008

English Summary/英文概要: This delightful collection from the magician of math introduces readers to magic squares, the Generalized Ham Sandwich Theorem, origami, digital roots, an update of the Induction Game of Eleusis, Dudeney puzzles, the maze at Hampton Court palace, and many more mathematical puzzles and principles.
"Gardner is often the clown prince of science. . . . His Mathematical Games column in Scientific American is one of the few bridges over C. P. Snow’s famous ’gulf of mutual incomprehension’ that lies between the technical and literary cultures."—Time

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 《科学美国人趣味数学集锦之2:迷宫、幻方、趣味拓扑及其他》讲述三颗硕大的骰子从一个波纹斜面上滚落到下面的平面。柜台上标着从1至6的巨大白色数字。参与的人愿意在哪个数字上押多少钱都行。骰子滚落以后,如果他押钱的数字出现在一颗骰子上,他就可以拿回赌注再加上与赌注同样多的钱。如果这个数字出现在两颗骰子上,他不但拿回赌注,还可另得两倍赌注的钱。如果三颗骰子上都是这个数字,他拿回赌注外,还可另得三倍赌注的钱。从长远看来,每押一元钱,能期望得到多少?
