Synopsis
Thousand of people now are able to solve Rubik's Cube, but the solution manuals they have been using do not give them a comprehension of what they have been doing. This book supplies such a comprehension. The handbook proceeds from topics easily understandable to the layman, to topics suitable for a junior-high-school or high-school course in math, and on to subjects appropriate for a college course in modern algebra. Chapter Tree is a solution manual for those who do not yet know how to solve the cube. This solution is an intuitive one that does not require memorisation of the formulas. It may be among the fastest solutions published, since the authors retain an open 'working space' to avoid having only a restricted area for the last pieces to move in. Movements of the cube exemplify a fascinating but abstract field of mathematics known as group theory. Manipulation of the cube makes the hard-to-understand ideas of this field concrete and understandable in the manner of no other device yet invented.

À propos de l?auteur
David Singmaster is the top world authority on the mathematics of Rubik's Cube. He originated the notion system that is used throughout the world to communicate about the cube. An American by birth and citizenship, with a Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of California, Berkeley, he is a Lecturer in Mathematical Sciences and Computing, South Bank University, London, England. His earlier book, Notes on Rubik's Magic Cube, is described by Scientific American as the "definitive treatise" on the subject. Alexander H. Frey, Jr. has a Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Washington and is a computer architect with IBM in the Washington D.C. area.

paperback. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
