This book reveals the most exhilarating oddities from Professor Stewart's legendary cabinet.\u003cbr\u003eInside, you will find hidden gems of logic, geometry, and probability-like how to extract a cherry from a cocktail glass (harder than you think), a pop-up dodecahedron, and the real reason why you can't divide anything by zero. Scattered among these are keys to Fermat's last theorem, the Poincar (c)onjecture, chaos theory, and the P=NP problem (you'll win a million dollars if you solve it). You never know what enigmas you'll find in the Stewart cabinet, but they're sure to be clever, mind-expanding, and delightfully fun.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ian Stewart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0465013023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780465013029\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Basic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/05\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.24h x 5.58w x 0.85d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2008 pg. 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScientific American\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2009 pg. 106","brand":"Ian Stewart","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996758606079,"sku":"9780465013029","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_db554dff-29a8-450d-8246-5e011644e7cb.jpg?v=1683343520","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/professor-stewarts-cabinet-of-mathematical-ian-stewart-9780465013029","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
