Description:
Math? Fun? You bet it is! When taught by a master that is.
And Barr McCutcheon is a master.
In a day when mathematics texts are written with the premise that there is only one recipe to a solution, Barr McCutcheon tears up the rule book and prances upon its pyre.
In this collection of puzzles, McCutcheon invites you not only to think outside the box, but to disassemble it on a molecular level and rebuild it any way you can imagine it. In McCutcheon?s world there are no wrong paths to a correct solution.
Whether you love math or only suspect you might have, you will love this collection of mathematical brain-tweakers and puzzles which comprise the fruit of a half-century teaching advanced math.
One of his former students---now a mathematics instructor himself---calls McCutcheon ?...the doorman of the grandest collection of seemingly incredible ideas on earth.?
Here he beckons us in to share his sense of wonder and fascination with math. Join him and be forever changed by the experience.
