could try: gardner and moscow. But I'm not sure if thats what you're looking for.

You could pick up the PE study book for your subject.

Have you heard of Project Euler

u/HighCode · 3 pointsr/math

Not exactly, this is a problems book. I'm looking for something about puzzles, like The Moscow Puzzles: 359 Mathematical Recreations or The Gödelian Puzzle Book: Puzzles, Paradoxes and Proofs.

u/Gulag_Arpeggio · 3 pointsr/math

I have a copy of The Moscow Puzzles. Some of the puzzles are easy and some are really hard! You can buy it for pretty cheap online.

Also, I'm surprised some hasn't said Satan, Cantor, and Infinity yet! It's a fun one, laid out like a story, and mostly deals with mathematical logic as opposed to algebra, geometry, etc.

As I said, I do not have the Colossal Book, so I can't make comparisons.

The CD contains the PDF of these books:

  1. Hexaflexagons and Other Mathematical Diversions

  2. The Second Scientific American Book of Mathematical Puzzles and Diversions

  3. New Mathematical Diversions

  4. The Unexpected Hanging and Other Mathematical Diversions

  5. Martin Gardner’s 6th Book of Mathematical Diversions from Scientific American

  6. Mathematical Carnival

  7. Mathematical Magic Show

  8. Mathematical Circus

  9. The Magic Numbers of Dr. Matrix

  10. Wheels, Life, and Other Mathematical Amusements

  11. Knotted Doughnuts and Other Mathematical Entertainments

  12. Time Travel and Other Mathematical Bewilderments

  13. Penrose Tiles to Trapdoor Ciphers

  14. Fractal Music, Hypercards, and More Mathematical Recreations from Scientific American

  15. The Last Recreations: Hydras, Eggs, and Other Mathematical Mystifications

    What I did mean is that the CD contains the scans of these 15 books, not the scans of the original columns appeared in Scientific American.

    Another book worth considering is "The Moscow Puzzles: 359 Mathematical Recreations" that, if I remember correctly, contains only puzzles, not diversions as in the case of Martin Gardner books.

I really like to "find" music,
I enjoy puzzles,
Ask me about my milkshake,
Mozzarella is my favorite cheese &
I am a computer science major

Edit: formatting edit.
