Nonplussed!: Mathematical Proof of Implausible Ideas by Julian Havil
Requirements: .PDF Reader, 2 MB
Overview: Math–the application of reasonable logic to reasonable assumptions–usually produces reasonable results. But sometimes math generates astonishing paradoxes–conclusions that seem completely unreasonable or just plain impossible but that are nevertheless demonstrably true. Did you know that a losing sports team can become a winning one by adding worse players than its opponents? Or that the thirteenth of the month is more likely to be a Friday than any other day? Or that cones can roll unaided uphill? In Nonplussed!–a delightfully eclectic collection of paradoxes from many different areas of math–popular-math writer Julian Havil reveals the math that shows the truth of these and many other unbelievable ideas.
Genre: Non-Fiction, General, Popular Mathematics
