Some very good bits, but inconsistent as far as variety of examples and many classic problems are missing.

The book would have been better structured around the more unique examples and their history rather than presented as a puzzler.

The eight book diseases set covers a range of different diseases from sore throats, to the plague to mental disorders. Each book has an index that covers all topics and clearly states the page and volume where information can be found. Articles are clearly organized and are approximately one page in length in language that is accessible for high school students. As this is a reference, information is not in depth but interesting facts are included such as the incidence of ADHD. This provides a great starting point for students beginning research on diseases or to get quick information about these disorders for personal interest. Recommended for use in high school or public libraries.… (lisätietoja)

About every month or so, diagrams go around social media proving various paradoxes. From proving 2 = 3, or that certain infinite series converge to -1/12, these proofs often use fallacious logic or hidden steps to achieve their ends. Bryan Bunch’s Mathematical Fallacies and Paradoxes collects eight such examples to help broaden our understanding of both logic and math. Be wary, though, this is not for the faint heart.

Bunch’s paradoxical exploration looks at simple divide-by-zero proofs, then looks at linguistic and philosophical paradoxes, and on to geometrical oddities and ancient paradoxes (including Zeno’s paradox). Each one is a step up from the previous so as to ease the reader to the math involved. Bunch does, however, assume some level of mathematical literary on the part of the reader. Back in the day, I entertained the idea of becoming a mathematician, but my love of literature and language got the better of me. So, for me, Bunch’s collection was a little nostalgic, dusting off a few unused areas of my brain. All in all, it’s a perplexing book, but in a good way.… (lisätietoja)
