Fractal Music, Hypercards & More Mathematical Recreations From Scientific American by Martin Gardner

Mathematical Recreations From Scientific American

A lively collection of accessible essays drawn from Scientific American that explores mathematical curiosities and recreational topics—from the visual beauty and construction of fractals to the mathematics of music and algorithmic composition, the playful uses of early personal-computer tools like HyperCard, and a variety of puzzles, paradoxes, and games—each piece blending clear explanations, historical asides, and hands-on examples that invite general readers to experiment and think creatively about mathematics.
