| Summary, etc. | It was always Shakuntala Devi’s belief that Mathematics, which many people find drab, boring, and difficult, can be made simple, interesting and fun. Her books of puzzles in Mathematics were written with this very aim of making Maths entertaining and interesting for the readers.<br/><br/>More Puzzles follows her earlier book of puzzles, Puzzles To Puzzle You. This book gives us another set of challenging, stimulating and varied mathematical puzzles. It has over 300 puzzles, riddles, and brain teasers. The author has included puzzles on varied topics, including Geometry, Elementary Algebra, and Arithmetic. There are problems based on Time, Money, Distance, Age, and many other topics. The topics are varied, and so are the levels of difficulty. The solutions of each of the problems is given in a logical and clear way.<br/><br/>These stimulating puzzles not only improve our mathematical and problem-solving skills, but the fun-learning also makes the puzzles very entertaining. More Puzzles provide good practice for those who want to improve their mathematical abilities, and is also very helpful for students who are attempting mathematical skill tests. Through her puzzles, Shakuntala Devi shows that if Mathematics is treated as a fun activity and turned into a game, it is easier, and more fun to learn. |
