Dictionary of Mathematical Games, Puzzles, and Amusements
Editorial Reviews
Review
“Eiss's dictionary is really a small encyclopedia giving explanations of the concepts behind each game or puzzle, a brief history of its development, and a small supporting bibliography for further reading. . . No other work has brought together all three elements and arranged them in alphabetical order. . . Many large academic libraries will want to get this dictionary, because there is no equivalent work. . .”–
“Similar in format to the author's Dictionary of Language Games, Puzzles, and Amusements (1986), this work complements the earlier work by adding the mathematical element.... [It] shoud find a place in large public libraries, in high schools with advanced math programs, and especially in academic libraries catering to mathematically oriented facult and students.”–
