Even in literary texts: adventure novels and fantasy stories, there are ingenious puzzles and mathematical problems. "Mathematics in entertaining stories" by Yakov Perelman will help the reader understand the theory of probability, solve the mystery of the pyramid of Cheops and, together with the heroes of Jules Verne, H. G. Wells and other writers, make the most incredible journeys - to the moon, to the surface of a soap bubble and even ... travel in time !
The stories and excerpts from the novels are accompanied by Perelman's mathematical explanations and interspersed with numerical anecdotes, problems, and tricks with numbers.
