Mathematics, Magic & Mystery by Martin Gardner - Book

\n

Matematyka, Magia i Tajemnice to pierwsza długoterminowa analiza tego fascynującego podziału rozrywkowej matematyki. Napisane przez jednego z najwybitniejszych ekspertów w dziedzinie magicznej matematyki, zawiera ona ogólne dane historyczne i bibliografię dotychczasowych prac w tym zakresie oraz kreatywne badanie praw i ich ilustracji. W tym tomie po raz pierwszy wyjaśnione są dziesiątki trików topologicznych, a także ruchomych trików przylegających do prawa matematycznego.

\n

Nie wymaga to umiejętności sztucyki w wykonaniu ponad 500 opisanych trików. Matematyka gwarantuje ich powodzenie i działa dla każdego. W Matematyka, Magia i Tajemnice znajdziesz szczegółowe analizy praw i zastosowania, które pozwolą Ci stworzyć własne problemy i efekty.

Oryginalny opis angielski

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.
