Sangaku is the captivating new number game that uses simple math and logic to reveal the mystic harmony and powerful symmetry of numbers. These puzzles work a bit like Sudoku: the player is presented with a pattern, shape, or grid, and must put the correct numbers in the right spaces in order to complete the puzzle based on mathematical rules. But Sangaku puzzles force you to think outside the box — literally! They can be any size, shape, or arrangement, and may call on any set of numbers, not just zero through nine. But despite their limitless variety and unpredictable challenges, these puzzles require nothing more than basic math skills and elbow grease to complete.

The nineteenth century saw the paradoxes and obscurities of eighteenth-century calculus gradually replaced by the exact theorems and statements of rigorous analysis. It became clear that all analysis could be deduced from the properties of the real numbers. But what are the real numbers and why do they have the properties we claim they do? In this charming and influential book, Richard Dedekind (1831–1916), Professor at the Technische Hochschule in Braunschweig, showed how to resolve this problem starting from elementary ideas. His method of constructing the reals from the rationals (the Dedekind cut) remains central to this day and was generalised by Conway in his construction of the 'surreal numbers'. This reissue of Dedekind's 1888 classic is of the 'second, unaltered' 1893 edition.
