Synopsis

Originally published in 1892. A fascinating book containing an account of certain Mathematical Recreations followed by some Essays on subjects most of which are directly concerned with historical mathematical problems. The illustrated contents include: Arithmetical Recreations - Geometrical Recreations - Mechanical Recreations - Chess Board Recreations - Magic Squares - Unicursal Problems - Kirkman's School Girls Problem - The Mathematical Tripos - The Parallel Postulate - Insolubility of The Algebraic Quintic - Mersenne's Numbers - String Figures - Astrology - Cryptographs and Ciphers - Hyper Space - Time and Its Measurement - Matter and Ether Theories. Etc. Many of the earliest science books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
