Mathematical Recreations and Essays

By: W. Rouse Ball, W.

The following pages contain an account of certain mathematicalrecreations, problems, and speculations of past and present times. Ihasten to add that the conclusions are of no practical use, and mostof the results are not new. If therefore the reader proceeds further heis at least forewarned.At the same time I think I may assert that many of the diversions-particularly those in the latter half of the book-are interesting, nota few are associated with the names of distinguished mathematicians, while hitherto several of the memoirs quoted have not been easily accessibleto English readers
