Peter Winkler – författare

Research in mathematics is much more than solving puzzles, but most people will agree that solving puzzles is not just fun: it helps focus the mind and increases one's armory of techniques for doing mathematics. Mathematical Puzzles makes this connection explicit by isolating important mathematical methods, then using them to solve puzzles and prove a theorem.This Revised Edition has been thoroughly edited to correct errors and provide clarifications, and includes some totally different solutions, modified puzzles, and one entirely new puzzle.FeaturesA collection of the world’s best mathematical puzzlesEach chapter features a technique for solving mathematical puzzles, examples, and finally a genuine theorem of mathematics that features that technique in its proofPuzzles that are entertaining, mystifying, paradoxical, and satisfying; they are not just exercises or contest problems.

Peter Winkler is at it again. Following the enthusiastic reaction to Mathematical Puzzles: A Connoisseur's Collection, Peter has compiled a new collection of elegant mathematical puzzles to challenge and entertain the reader. The original puzzle connoisseur shares these puzzles, old and new, so that you can add them to your own anthology. This book is for lovers of mathematics, lovers of puzzles, lovers of a challenge. Most of all, it is for those who think that the world of mathematics is orderly, logical, and intuitive-and are ready to learn otherwise!

Collected over several years by Peter Winkler, of Bell Labs, dozens of elegant, intriguing challenges are presented in Mathematical Puzzles. The answers are easy to explain, but without this book, devilishly hard to find. Creative reasoning is the key to these puzzles. No involved computation or higher mathematics is necessary, but your ability to construct a mathematical proof will be severly tested--even if you are a professional mathematician. For the truly adventurous, there is even a chapter on unsolved puzzles.

Die Rede von einem umfassenden medialen und sozialen Wandel ist in der Online-PR aktuell weit verbreitet. Drei Fragestellungen stehen dabei im Zentrum: Wie lässt sich der vielfach attestierte mediale Kontrollverlust der PR entlang inhaltlicher und technischer Vernetzungslogiken im Web erklären?

Diese Welt kann man entdecken, indem man mit einfachen Fragen den Spuren dieser Eigensprache nachgeht: mit dem Ansatz der Idiolektik.Leicht und respektvoll lädt ein idiolektisches Gespräch ein, Bedeutungen und innere Verknüpfungen zu entdecken, die für das eigene Leben und die eigene Gesundheit bedeutsam und oft verblüffend sind.

Peter Winkler, der bekannte Mathematiker und Rätselexperte, veröffentlicht in diesem Buch seine Rätselsammlung, die er in Jahrzehnten zusammengestellt hat. Jetzt können Sie sich an mehr als 100 der besten (und teilweise der schwierigsten) mathematischen Rätsel erfreuen, die je in einem Band erschienen sind.Sie sollten Liebe für mathematisches Denken und Hartnäckigkeit mitbringen. Sie benötigen aber keine akademischen mathematischen Kenntnisse; ein aufgeschlossener Abiturient besitzt alles an Vorwissen, was man braucht.Stimmen zur Originalausgabe: „Peter Winkler gibt uns eine wunderbare Sammlung herausfordernder mathematischer Denkaufgaben – geistreich, zugänglich, überraschend und schön. Dies ist ganz sicher die beste Sammlung mathematischer Rätsel, die im letzten Jahrzehnt erschienen ist." Ronald Graham, Präsident der Mathematical Association of America"Winklers Buch ist eine Schatzkiste voller faszinierender Juwelen." Elwyn R. Berlekamp, Mitautor von ‚Winning Ways for your Mathematical Plays’
