Hexaflexagons Probability Paradoxes and the Tower of Hanoi is the inaugural volume in The New Martin Gardner Mathematical Library series. Based off of Gardener''s enormously popular Scientific American columns his puzzles and challenges can now fascinate a whole new generation! Paradoxes and paper-folding Moebius variations and mnemonics fallacies magic square topological curiosities parlor tricks and games ancient and modern from Polyminoes Nim Hex and the Tower of Hanoi to four-dimensional ticktacktoe. These mathematical recreations clearly and cleverly presented by Martin Gardner delight and perplex while demonstrating principles of logic probability geometry and other fields of mathematics. Now the author in consultation with experts has added updates to all the chapters including new game variations mathematical proofs and other developments and discoveries.
