In the first edition of The Mathematical Tourist, renowned science journalist Ivars Peterson took readers on an unforgettable tour through the sometimes bizarre, but always fascinating, landscape of modern mathematics. Now the journey continues in a new, updated edition that includes all the latest information on mathematical proofs, fractals, prime numbers, and chaos, as well as new material on * the relationship between mathematical knots and DNA * how computers based on quantum logic can significantly speed up the factoring of large composite numbers * the relationship between four-dimensional geometry and physical theories of the nature of matter * the application of cellular automata models to social questions and the peregrinations of virtual ants * a novel mathematical model of quasicrystals based on decagon-shaped tiles Blazing a trail through rows of austere symbols and dense lines of formulae, Peterson explores the central ideas behind the work of professional mathematicians-- how and where their pieces of the mathematical puzzle fit in, the sources of their ideas, their fountains of inspiration, and the images that carry them from one discovery to another.

This book contains all 344 problems that were originally published in the 19th century journal, The Mathematical Visitor, classified by subject. Little-known to most mathematicians today, these problems represent lost treasure from mathematical antiquity. All solutions that were originally published in the journal are also included.

Excerpt from The Mathematical Visitor, 1877-1881, Vol. 1 Two lists of problems will be published in each number; one, headed Junior Problems, for students and persons who have not advanced very far beyond the elementary branches the other, headed Senior Problems, will contain questions of a more difficult nature. For convenience of reference the problems will be numbered continuously. A prize problem will be published in each number, for the best complete, cor rect, solution of which ten copies of The visitor will be given, and for the second best solution eight copies will be given. All problems and solutions intended for publication in number two should be received by September 1, 1877. Number two will be issued about the first of January, 1878; it will contain about 32 pages, and the price will be 50 cents. Only a small edition will be printed, hence persons desiring to secure copies should send in their names at an early date. Artemas martin, Lock Box 11, Erie, Pa.
