Using this book, you can explore ways to create hinged collections
of pieces that swing together to form a figure. Swing them another
way and they form another figure! The profuse illustrations and
lively text will show you how to find a wealth of hinged
dissections for all kinds of polygons, stars and crosses, curved
and even three-dimensional figures. For an added challenge, you can
try using different kinds of hinges for twisting and flipping
pieces. The author includes careful explanation of ingenious
techniques, as well as puzzles and solutions for readers of all
mathematical levels. If you remember any secondary school geometry,
you are already on your way. These novel and original dissections
will be a gold mine for math puzzle enthusiasts, for math educators
in search of enrichment topics, and for anyone who loves to see
beautiful objects in motion.
