Polyominoes Zusammenfassung

Polyominoes: Puzzles, Patterns, Problems, and Packings - Revised and Expanded Second Edition Solomon W. Golomb

Inspiring popular video games like Tetris while contributing to the study of combinatorial geometry and tiling theory, polyominoes have continued to spark interest ever since their inventor, Solomon Golomb, introduced them to puzzle enthusiasts several decades ago. In this fully revised and expanded edition of his landmark book, the author takes a new generation of readers on a mathematical journey into the world of the deceptively simple polyomino. Golomb incorporates important, recent developments, and poses problems, inviting the reader to play with and develop an understanding of the extraordinary properties of polyominoes.

"The book covers all areas, both beginner and expert, thoroughly. Hundreds of diagrams illustrate the detailed, clearly written texts... A classic. From a simple idea, Golomb has created a ... science."--Colin Singleton, New Scientist "One of the most eagerly anticipated second editions in the history of mathematics, [Polyominoes] was worth it... Truly a jewel in the crown of mathematical royalty, this book deserves to be a runaway bestseller."--Charles Ashbacher, Journal of Recreational Mathematics "Truly a jewel in the crown of mathematical royalty, this book deserves to be a runaway bestseller."--Journal of Recreational Mathematics
