The magical labyrinth that Professor Ian Stewart proposes we explore is that of mathematics, a powerful and essential tool so we don't get lost in an even bigger labyrinth, the one we call the universe. In this book, full of fun games, incredible puzzles, fantastic parables, and fascinating stories, the author reveals, in a simple and enjoyable way, the beauty and majesty of the Queen of Sciences. With a great sense of humor, Stewart teaches us how to build a puzzle in an algorithmic, artistic, or military way, revealing the surprising connections between the founding of Carthage, soap bubbles, and communication networks.
Ian Nicholas Stewart is a British mathematician and a popular-science, textbooks, and science-fiction books writer. He is Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at the University of Warwick, England.
