A tangled tale

Viac o knihe

Featuring a blend of humor and mathematics, this collection presents ten whimsical stories, known as Knots, that challenge readers with mathematical problems in Arithmetic, Algebra, or Geometry. Illustrated by Arthur B. Frost, the tales are designed to amuse while subtly imparting mathematical concepts. Carroll's playful critiques of readers' incorrect answers add a layer of engagement, although not all responses were well-received. Despite Carroll's modest self-assessment, many consider this work a successful fusion of intellect and humor, showcasing his signature charm.
