Mathematical Recreations and Essays is a collection of mathematical puzzles, games, and problems compiled by W. W. Rouse Ball. The book is divided into several sections, each covering a different topic in mathematics. The first section includes puzzles and games that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and skill levels. The second section covers geometry, including topics such as the properties of circles, angles, and triangles. The third section focuses on algebra, including equations and formulas. The fourth section covers number theory, including prime numbers and divisibility. The final section covers calculus, including derivatives and integrals. Throughout the book, Ball presents problems and puzzles that challenge readers to think creatively and apply their mathematical knowledge in new ways. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it a great resource for anyone interested in mathematics.1892.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
