Sixteen of today's greatest unsolved mathematical puzzles in a story-driven, illustrated volume that invites readers to peek over the edge of the unknown.

Most people think of mathematics as a set of useful tools designed to answer analytical questions, beginning with simple arithmetic and ending with advanced calculus. But, as Mage Merlin's Unsolved Mathematical Mysteries shows, mathematics is filled with intriguing mysteries that take us to the edge of the unknown. This richly illustrated, story-driven volume presents sixteen of today's greatest unsolved mathematical puzzles, all understandable by anyone with elementary math skills. These intriguing mysteries are presented to readers as puzzles that have time-traveled from Camelot, preserved in the notebook of Merlin, the wise magician in King Arthur's court.

Our guide is Mage Maryam (named in honor of the brilliant young mathematician, the late Maryam Mirzakhani), a distant descendant of Merlin. Maryam introduces the mysteries--each of which is presented across two beautifully illustrated pages--and provides mathematical and historical context afterward. We find Merlin confronting mathematical puzzles involving tinker toys (a present for Camelot's princesses from the sorceress Morgana), cake-slicing at a festival, Lancelot's labyrinth, a vault for the Holy Grail, and more. Each mystery is a sword awaiting removal from its stone, capturing the beauty and power of mathematics.

Very nice shirts but unusually long sleeves
Size: Large, Color: Light Green
PJ PAUL JONES Mens Dress Shirts Wrinkle Free Stretch Button Down Shirt. I bought white, coffee, grey, autumn green and apricot. Colors are true to the ads. I'm 6' , 170 lbs. I bought these in Large. They fit very well in shoulders, chest, and my big belly. As many reviews have stated, the sleeves are unusually long - coming down past my palms to my fingers. I would give them a 4 rating for that but I bought them with the intention of making them short sleeve. The white shirt is just too nice to change so I'll reserve that for weddings and funerals. The apricot is very nice but I just wouldn't wear that color as a casual shirt but it does go with my brown blaser so I'll keep it for rare occasions. I washed them in warm and put them thru warm dryer and didn't notice any shrinkage which I wouldn't expect with polyester. Very good shirts at very good price.
