This collection of problems drawn from mathematics and the real
world reveals just how much can be learned by using everyday common
sense. Its easily understandable style will hook school students
and professional mathematicians alike. The more than 250 questions
cover a wide range of classical mathematics and physics, with a
solution and explanation provided for each one. A generous
sprinkling of boxes appear throughout the text containing
historical asides or little-known facts, which help make the book a
starting point for some interesting discussions. The problems
themselves can easily turn into serious debate-starters, and the
book will find a natural home in the classroom. Often a single
concrete problem represents an introduction to a more general
concept or method of solution that the student will encounter later
on. Conversely, a quick, common-sense solution to a problem can
represent a surprising alternative to applying the standard but
more lengthy technique.
