Design Techniques for Origami Tessellations

Design Techniques for Origami Tessellations

Design Techniques for Origami Tessellations is both a collection of origami tessellations and a manual to design them. This book begins by explaining general design methods the history and definitions of origami tessellations and the geometric features of flat origami before moving on to introduce a brand-new design method: the twist-based design method. This method generates base parts that connect twist patterns” (that can be folded with a twist) without using a lattice. Therefore it can generate base parts such as regular pentagons which cannot be generated with more conventional methods and can generate new origami tessellations connected to them. Features: No proofs or formulas in the text and minimal jargon. Suitable for readers with a roughly middle school to high school level of mathematical background. Web application implementing the method described in this book is available allowing the readers to design their own patterns.

Miracles Mystics Mathematicians Searching for Deep Reality

Miracles Mystics Mathematicians Searching for Deep Reality

Miracles Mystics Mathematicians: Searching for Deep Reality focuses on the lives and writings of some of history’s most influential mathematicians and the impact that their mystical beliefs had on their lives and on their mathematical work. Modern biographers often cleanse the lives of renowned scientists of any hint of mysticism or occultism. Such threads are sometimes regarded as relics of the superstitious past; flaws that need to be hushed up marginalized or reinterpreted. This book represents a minor attempt to push back against this tendency and to examine these aspects of the history of mathematics with seriousness and intellectual curiosity. Features A breadth of scope covering many centuries Suitable for anyone interested in mathematics history philosophy paranormal phenomena psi-research mysticism or in any combination of the above An almost unique account of known histories examined from a new vantage point Sasho Kalajdzievski is a Senior Scholar in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Manitoba. | Miracles Mystics Mathematicians Searching for Deep Reality

The Baseball Mysteries Challenging Puzzles for Logical Detectives

The Baseball Mysteries Challenging Puzzles for Logical Detectives

The Baseball Mysteries: Challenging Puzzles for Logical Detectives is a book of baseball puzzles logical baseball puzzles. To jump in all you need is logic and a casual fan’s knowledge of the game. The puzzles are solved by reasoning from the rules of the game and a few facts. The logic in the puzzles is like legal reasoning. A solution must argue from evidence (the facts) and law (the rules). Unlike legal arguments however a solution must reach an unassailable conclusion. There are many puzzle books. But there’s nothing remotely like this book. The puzzles here while rigorously deductive are firmly attached to actual events to struggles that are reported in the papers every day. The puzzles offer a unique and scintillating connection between abstract logic and gritty reality. Actually this book offers the reader an unlimited number of puzzles. Once you’ve solved a few of the challenges here every boxscore you see in the papers or online is a new puzzle! It can be anywhere from simple to complex to impossible. For anyone who enjoys logical puzzles. For anyone interested in legal reasoning. For anyone who loves the game of baseball. Jerry Butters has a BA in mathematics from Oberlin College and an MS in mathematics and a PhD in economics from the University of Chicago.
