Beskrivelse
This book will appeal to the amateur problem solver who is looking for diverting mathematical puzzles to challenge his ingenuity. Yet these puzzles do not require any profound understanding of mathematics or any tedious computations. Geometric dissections are puzzles based on the art of cutting up one geometric figure into pieces which can be reassembled to form another figure. Example, an octagon can be dissected into a square in as few as five pieces.
