商品描述
This book will challenge mathematical skills in a totally different way from the usual geometric puzzles. These 120 puzzles are visually intriguing. Mastering Geometry Puzzles has 5 chapters of puzzles, each one corresponding to a level of difficulty, from the very easy to the very hard.
Even if mathematical puzzles are new to the reader, this book is a great place to start. Puzzle solving is not only fun; it will also enhance the reader's understanding of mathematics. More experienced puzzlers will also find very challenging opportunities.
There are three types of geometry puzzles in this book:
- No shape-based puzzles, i.e., triangles, circles, etc.
- General shape-based puzzles, i.e., a hamburger, a bird, etc.
- Japanese shape-based puzzles, i.e., a samurai, a bonsai, etc.
The first chapter, Solving a Puzzle, offers a typical puzzle, which then is solved step-by-step. It presents how geometry is used to solve it, and the logical thinking leading to the solution.
Puzzles should not only be fun in their design, but they should also be fun to solve. Their shape should be appealing to arouse curiosity in the reader. The information given to solve the puzzle should be as minimal as possible, sometimes to the point that the reader might think that it is not possible to solve it. This is part of the challenge of puzzles.
All the puzzles have step-by-step solutions. The puzzles can be solved by geometry puzzle lovers of all ages. The puzzler does not need to be an ace in geometry to solve them.
A warning: these puzzles can lead to a serious puzzle addiction! Enjoy the challenge!
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書將以完全不同於傳統幾何謎題的方式挑戰數學技能。這120個謎題在視覺上引人入勝。《掌握幾何謎題》包含5章謎題，每一章對應一個難度級別，從非常簡單到非常困難。
即使數學謎題對讀者來說是全新的，這本書也是一個很好的起點。解謎不僅有趣，還能增強讀者對數學的理解。更有經驗的解謎者也會找到非常具挑戰性的機會。
這本書中的幾何謎題有三種類型：
- 無形狀基礎的謎題，例如三角形、圓形等。
- 一般形狀基礎的謎題，例如漢堡、鳥等。
- 日本形狀基礎的謎題，例如武士、盆栽等。
第一章《解謎》提供了一個典型的謎題，然後逐步解決。它展示了如何使用幾何來解決謎題，以及導致解答的邏輯思考。
謎題的設計不僅應該有趣，解謎的過程也應該有趣。它們的形狀應該吸引人，以激發讀者的好奇心。為了解謎而提供的信息應該儘可能少，有時甚至讓讀者覺得無法解決。這是謎題挑戰的一部分。
所有謎題都有逐步的解答。這些謎題可以被各個年齡層的幾何謎題愛好者解決。解謎者不需要在幾何方面是高手才能解開它們。
警告：這些謎題可能會導致嚴重的解謎成癮！享受挑戰吧！
