    Archimedes' Revenge: The Joys and Perils of Mathematics

    Archimedes' Revenge: The Joys and Perils of Mathematics
    By Paul Hoffman
    English | 1988 | ISBN: 0393327752 | 300 pages | True PDF | 9.7 MB


    Now anyone can understand what the mathematical geniuses are thinking . . . .
    * How topologists figured out the way to turn a smokestack into a bowling ball – and why.
    * How game theorists discovered that to elect the candidate of your choice you must sometimes vote for his opponent.
    * How computer theorists intend to create a robot that will think for itself – and do all the housework.
    * How cryptographers have been laboring since 1822 to decipher a map that will lead to a buried treasure worth millions of dollars.
    Archimedes' Revenge takes the reader on a guided tour of the world of contemporary mathematics and makes its infinite marvels comprehensible, relevant, and fun.
    "A breezy and lighthearted account of a number of topics in and around the periphery of mathematics . . . Mr. Hoffman approaches mathematics as a storyteller, and a good one." – The New York Times Book Review
