For two decades, an international readership of workers in applied mathematics submitted their favorite puzzles to a mid-twentieth-century column, The Graham Dial . This original collection features 100 of the publication's very best problems, with themes ranging from logic and engineering situations to number theory and geometry. Each problem was specifically selected for its widely differing modes of solution, and most include several methods of solution plus assessments of their efficacy.In checking their solutions against the book's, readers may find that their interest in the puzzles increases. The search for an answer can develop into a challenge to improve upon existing solutions, as in a friendly competition among dozens of keen-witted, problem-solving engineers and mathematical puzzle fans. More than two dozen "mathematical nursery rhymes" appear throughout the book, which concludes with a final section of 25 "quickies" that will test readers' speed.

Most of the problems in this book are mathematically based except one or two problems. So if you are mathematically inclined and proficient in algebra,calculas and geometry; you may love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars You may be able to find these problems elsewhere, but not necessarily these answers
Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2006
This is an excellent collection of math problems. Some of them are well known classics, but in many cases interesting variations are given on the standard answers. See, for example, the electrician and hat check problems. It is unfortunate that this book has gone out of print. At the time that I am writing this, Amazon is offering several very low priced used copies (not including mine, which I am not giving up). I would strongly recommend taking advantage of one of these offers.
