Mathematical Labyrinths. Pathfinding provides an overview of
various non-standard problems and the approaches to their
solutions. The essential idea is a framework laid upon the reader
on how to solve nonconventional problems - particularly in the
realm of mathematics and logic. It goes over the key steps in
approaching a difficult problem, contemplating a plan for its
solution, and discusses set of mental models to solve math
problems.The book is not a routine set of problems. It is rather an
entertaining and educational journey into the fascinating world of
mathematical reasoning and logic. It is about finding the best path
to a solution depending on the information given, asking and
answering the right questions, analyzing and comparing alternative
approaches to problem solving, searching for generalizations and
inventing new problems. It also considers as an important
pedagogical tool playing mathematical and logical games,
deciphering mathematical sophisms, and interpreting mathematical
paradoxes.It is suitable for mathematically talented and curious
students in the age range 10-20. There are many 'Eureka'- type, out
of the ordinary, fun problems that require bright idea and insight.
These intriguing and thought-provoking brainteasers and logic
puzzles should be enjoyable by the audience of almost any age
group, from 6-year-old children to 80-year-old and older adults.
