Excerpt from Mathematical Wrinkles: For Teachers and Private Learners Consisting of Knotty Problems; Mathematical Recreations Answers and Solutions; Rules of Mensuration; Short Methods; Helps, Tables, Etc

Originality is not claimed for all of the problems, but for many of them. They have been compiled from various sources. The author's aim has been to select problems not only instruo tive, but also interesting and amusing.

The rules of Mensuration and Short Methods have been included because of their usefulness. On account of the vari ous helps placed in this book, it will serve as a handbook of mathematics to both teachers and pupils.

The solutions to only part of the problems are given. In some cases solutions of considerable length are given, but at other times only the answers are given. Had the full solu tions and proofs been given in every case, either half the prob lems would have had to be omitted, or the size of the book greatly increased.

Excerpt from Mathematical Wrinkles: For Teachers and Private Learners Consisting of Knotty Problems; Mathematical Recreations Answers and Solutions; Rules of Mensuration; Short Methods; Helps, Tables, Etc

"Albert Smith, in one of his amusing novels, describes a woman who was convinced that she suffered from 'cobwigs on the brain.' This may be a very rare complaint, but in a more metaphorical sense, many of us are very apt to suffer from mental cobwebs, and there is nothing equal to the solving of puzzles and problems for sweeping them away. They keep the brain alert, stimulate the imagination, and develop the reasoning faculties. And not only are they useful in this indirect way, but they often directly help us by teaching us some little tricks and 'wrinkles' that can be applied in the affairs of life at the most unexpected times, and in the most unexpected ways."
