Mathematics intrudes into his children's books, especially Sylvie and Bruno. There is nobody better qualified to explain this side of Lewis Carroll to the non-mathematician than Martin G||.,."a package tour of Carrolls whimsy, wit and wordplay... a treasure trove of Carrolian oddities...Martin Gardner is of course the only possible author, a kindred spirit who even shares Carrolls love of amateur magic...Enjoy." Ian Stewart in nature|
This book contains scores of intriguing puzzles and paradoxes from Lewis Carroll, the author of Alice in Wonderland, whose interests ranged from inventing new games like Arithmetical Croquet to important problems in symbolic logic and propositional calculus. Written by Carroll expert and well-known mathematics author Martin Gardner, this tour through Carroll's inventions is both fun and informative.
