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.
