Overview

Mathematics is the language of definiteness, the necessary vocabulary of those who know. Hence the intimate connection between mathematics and science. The tendency to select the problems and illustrations of mathematics mostly from the scientific, commercial and industrial activities of to-day, is one with which the writer is in accord. It may seem that in the following pages puzzles have too largely taken the place of problems. But this is not a text-book. Moreover, amusement is one of the fields of applied mathematics. The aim has been to present some of the most interesting and suggestive phases of the subject. To this aim, all others have yielded, except that accuracy has never intentionally been sacrificed. It is hoped that this little book may be found to possess all the unity, completeness and originality that its title claims.
