Produktbeschreibung
Texte à corriger : "A Tangled Tale" by Lewis Carroll is a collection of ten short stories, each presenting a mathematical puzzle intertwined with a whimsical narrative. Originally published serially in "The Monthly Packet" from 1880 to 1885, the tales are designed to entertain and educate readers through a blend of humor and logic. Each story, referred to as a "Knot," presents a transformation problem that challenges the reader's mathematical reasoning and problem-solving skills. The narratives often involve characters in fantastical settings, such as knights in armor or travelers in exotic lands, who encounter various logical conundrums. For instance, in "Knot I: Excelsior," two travelers discuss their journey's pace, leading to a mathematical puzzle about time and distance. In "Knot VI: Her Radiancy," characters must solve a problem involving the production of scarves with different attributes. Carroll's work is noted for its playful use of language and its ability to make complex mathematical concepts accessible and engaging. The book concludes with solutions to the puzzles, allowing readers to test their answers and understand the underlying logic. "A Tangled Tale" remains a testament to Carroll's exceptional ability to blend storytelling with intellectual challenge, appealing to both lovers of literature and mathematics.
