Samenvatting
Ingeniously designed mathematical riddles to delight armchairand seasonedmathematicians, in high school and beyond.
In The Price of Cake, brothers Clément and Guillaume Deslandes have assembled a uniquely rich and accessible collection of mathematical riddles, organized by difficulty and accompanied by unique hand-drawn illustrations. The challenges are exceptional in both their range and their precision. There are no tricks herejust good math to test your skills.
While any student will be thrilled to encounter fresh presentations of classic conundrums such as Simpsons paradox, Hilbert's infinite hotel, Monty Halls paradox, and Seven Bridges of Königsberg, seasoned solvers will also appreciate challenging original puzzles using the Axiom of Choice and Conways Soldiers problem. The Deslandes lucid and elegant solutions offer new insights, as they seamlessly connect the skills applied in each problem to broader theoretical revelations. Moreover, as Fields Medalist Cédric Villani writes in his preface, these riddles are much more than just exercises. They capture a certain dose of decorum and mystery, and to decipher them will require both imagination and tenacity.

Entertaining and rigorous in equal measure, The Price of Cake is bound to captivate mathematics enthusiasts and students of all levels.
