Mathematics with Boris Trushin. Mathematical stories: stories, anecdotes, and problems.
9.99 €
From the author: "This book will be of interest to both schoolchildren passionate about mathematics and adults who want to finally fall in love with it. It features 25 beautiful stories that will reveal mathematics from a variety of perspectives. It all begins with a series of vignettes about real-life mathematics—from stories about how scammers exploit probability theory to interesting facts about a piece of paper. Then there are several mathematical anecdotes from my own experience, covering problems that seem simple at first glance but are not, as well as simple children's problems that eminent professors perceive as extremely difficult. The book concludes with tricky math problems often given during interviews at IT companies to test applicants' ability to think outside the box. Most of them don't require math knowledge higher than 6th or 7th grade, but that doesn't guarantee they'll be solved quickly."
