The Puzzles of Nobuyuki Yoshigahara

Beschreibung

This book convenes a selection of 200 mathematical puzzles with original solutions, all celebrating the inquisitive and inspiring spirit of Nobuyuki “Nob” Yoshigahara – a legend in the worldwide community of mathematical and mechanical puzzles. A graduate from the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Yoshigahara invented numerous mechanical puzzles and published over 80 puzzle books. In 2003, he was honored with the Sam Loyd Award, given by the Association for Games & Puzzles International to individuals who have been made a significant contribution to the world of mechanical puzzles.
In this work, the reader will find some of the most ingenious puzzles ever created, organized in ten categories: Logic, matchstick, maze, algorithmic, combinatorial, digital, number, geometric, dissection, and others. Some of them could rivalry with those found at Mathematical Olympiads tests around the globe; others will work as powerful brain teasers for those with an interest in problem-solving.Math teachers, curious students of any age and even experienced mathematicians with a taste for the fun in science can find in this book unconventional paths to develop their problem-solving skills in a creative way.

“This book, wonderfully conceived by Andy Liu, George Sicherman, and Nob's son Takayuki Yoshigahara, contains a selection of 200 of Nob's mathematical puzzles (with extraordinarily good solutions added). … As good as this book is, it provides only a limited view of Nob's extraordinary output of puzzles. I'd like to end by mentioning a puzzle not included in this book that I believe to be among his very best.” (John J. Watkins, Mathematical Reviews, May, 2022)
“This is a collection of 200 mathematical puzzles, each solved by the editors, with careful explanations … . The intended audience ‘includes bright young children.’” (Victor V. Pambuccian, zbMATH 1465.00007, 2021)
