The best description of it I can give is that it is a mystery novel, developing on three levels, and imbued with both educational and philosophical/moral issues. If this summary description does not help understanding the particular character and allure of the book, possibly a more detailed explanation will be found useful. One of the primary goals of the author is to interest readers—in particular, young mathematiciansorpossiblypre-mathematicians—inthefascinatingworldofelegant and easily understandable problems, for which no particular mathematical kno- edge is necessary, but which are very far from being easily solved. In fact, the prototype of such problems is the following: If each point of the plane is to be given a color, how many colors do we need if every two points at unit distance are to receive distinct colors? More than half a century ago it was established that the least number of colorsneeded for such a coloring is either 4, or 5, or 6 or 7. Well, which is it? Despite efforts by a legion of very bright people—many of whom developed whole branches of mathematics and solved problems t | | 出版日期 | Book 20091st edition | | 关键词 | Arithmetic; Combinatorics; Equivalence; History of Mathematics; Ramsey theory; addition; graphs; pigeonhole | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-74642-5 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4899-9626-8 | | isbn_ebook | 978-0-387-74642-5 | | copyright | Springer-Verlag New York 2009 |
