'This delightful book connects mathematical concepts in a dozen
areas to magic tricks. Expositions of the mathematics precede
description and analysis of the tricks. The expositions are too
short for in-depth learning; the intent is to give sophomores a
taste of the content and ideas of later mathematics courses. Each
chapter features exercises on the mathematics, and students can
have fun practicing the tricks.'Mathematics MagazineTeixeira and
Park present over 60 different magic tricks while introducing
students to high-level math areas. Readers will learn really
interesting ideas that will better prepare them for future courses
and help them finding areas they might want to study deeper. And as
a 'side effect' students will learn amazing magic tricks,
century-old secrets, and details from famous magicians and
mathematicians.The material was written to quickly present key
concepts in several mathematical areas in direct way. Little or no
proficiency in math is assumed. In fact, students do not require
any Calculus knowledge. And since chapters are almost independent
from each other, this book also work as introduction to several
other courses.Topics covered include mathematical proofs,
probability, abstract algebra, linear algebra, mathematical
computing, number theory, coding theory, geometry, topology, real
analysis, numerical analysis and history of math.
