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

Mathematical Recreations From Scientific American Magazine

A lively collection of accessible essays drawn from a popular magazine column that explores recreational mathematics and its offshoots — from the visual and musical patterns of fractals to algorithmic curiosities, puzzles, games, computer experiments (including HyperCard-style projects) and paradoxes — all presented with clear exposition, historical asides, and playful demonstrations that invite readers to experiment and think creatively about mathematical ideas.
