Mathematics, Magic & Mystery by Martin Gardner - Book

\n

Warum funktionieren Kartentricks? Wie können Magier mathematische Meisterleistungen im Kopf ausführen? Warum funktionieren Bühnen-Geistesleser-Tricks? In diesem Buch, das von einem der führenden Experten auf dem Gebiet des magischen Mathematik verfasst wurde, werden alle bisherigen Arbeiten in diesem Bereich zusammengefasst und mit umfangreicher historischer Daten und Literaturbelege bereichert. Es ist auch ein kreativer Überblick über Gesetze und ihre Anwendung, mit zahlreichen neuen Tricks, neuen Einsichten und neuen Demonstrationen.

• Topologische Tricks mit Handtuch, Karten usw.
• Manipulationstricks mit mathematischen Gesetzen
• Geometrische Verschwindungseffekte
• Demonstrationen mit reinen Zahlen

Nicht technisch, detailliert und klar, enthält dieses Buch 115 Abschnitte über Tricks mit Karten, Würfeln, Münzen usw.; topologische Tricks mit Handtuch, Karten usw.; geometrische Verschwindungseffekte; Demonstrationen mit reinen Zahlen; und vieles mehr.

Kein Geschick im Fingerspitzengefühl ist erforderlich, um die über 500 Tricks auszuführen, die in diesem Buch beschrieben sind. Die Mathematik garantiert ihre Erfolgsmöglichkeiten, sie werden für jeden funktionieren.

Mathematik, Magie & Geheimnisse bietet detaillierte Untersuchungen von Gesetzen und deren Anwendung, was Ihnen ermöglicht, eigene Probleme und Effekte zu erstellen. 174 Seiten - gebunden, illustriert.

Originale englische Beschreibung

Why do card tricks work? How can magicians do astonishing feats of mathematics mentally? Why do stage "mind-reading" tricks work? As a rule we simply accept these tricks as "magic," we seldom recognize that they are really demonstrations of strict laws based on probability, sets, theory of numbers, topology and other branches of mathematics.

This is the first book-length study of this fascinating branch of recreational mathematics. Written by one of the foremost experts on mathematical magic, it summarizes, with considerable historical data and bibliography, all previous work in this field; it is also a creative examination of laws and their exemplification, with scores of new tricks, new insights and new demonstrations. In this volume, for the first time, dozens of topological tricks are explained and dozens of manipulation tricks are aligned with mathematical law.

Non-technical, detailed and clear, this volume contains 115 sections discussing tricks with cards, dice, coins, etc.; topological tricks with handkerchiefs, cards, etc.; geometrical vanishing effects; demonstrations with pure numbers; and dozens of other topics. You will learn how a Moebius strip works, how a Curry square can "prove" that the whole is not equal to the sum of its parts and lots more.

No skill at sleight-of-hand is needed to perform the more than 500 tricks described. Mathematics guarantees their success, they will work for anyone. Mathematics Magic and Mystery includes detailed examinations of laws and their application permits you to create your own problems and effects.
