Oval Track and Other Permutation Puzzles（ISBN=9780883857250） 下载 kindle 电子版 pdf mobi pmlz 夸克云 caj

　　Popular puzzles such as the Rubik's cube and so-called oval

track puzzles give a concrete representation to the theory of

permutation groups. They are relatively simple to describe in group

theoretic terms, yet present a challenge to anyone trying to solve

them. John Kiltinen shows how the theory of permutation groups can

be used to solve a range of puzzles. There is also an accompanying

CD that can be used to reduce the need for carrying out long

calculations and memorising difficult sequences of moves. This book

will prove useful as supplemental material for students taking

abstract algebra courses. It provides a real application of the

theory and methods of permutation groups, one of the standard

topics. It will also be of interest to anyone with an interest in

puzzles and a basic grounding in mathematics. The author has

provided plenty of exercises and examples to aid study.
