Mathematical Brain-Teasers

Tantalizing teasers including coin and change problems, relative ages, time and distance, and 40 alphametics—innovative letter substitutions. Solutions.
Here you will find 150 tantalizing brain-teasers devised by one of the great contemporary inventors of mathematical puzzles. Over 100 problems are in cleverly worded story forms; coin and change problems, relative ages, time and distance problems. Many of these solutions could come up in everyday life. There are also a number of fine "alphametics", innovative letter substitutions you will find specially attractive. 

Fun With Figures

Here an example of the kind of mathematical teasers you will find in this book (#35. A matter of ifs): 
"If Sam had driven for twenty minutes less than the time he would have driven if he had driven twenty miles less than he did drive but at two-thirds the speed at which he drove, he would have driven ten miles less than he did.

My Best Puzzles in Logic and Reasoning

To solve these 100 puzzles, the only things required are an unclouded mind, nerves of steel, and a grasp of such sentences as: "No animal that does not prefer Beethoven to Mozart ever takes a taxi in Bond Street."

Representations of Algebraic Groups

Now back in print by the AMS, this is a significantly revised edition of a book originally published in 1987 by Academic Press. This book gives the reader an introduction to the theory of algebraic representations of reductive algebraic groups. To develop appropriate techniques, the first part of the book is an introduction to the general theory of representations of algebraic group schemes.

Analysing Architecture

Clear and accessible, Analysing Architecture opens a fresh way to understanding architecture. It offers a unique ‘notebook’ of architectural strategies to present an engaging introduction to elements and concepts in architectural design. Beautifully illustrated throughout with the author’s original drawings, examples are drawn from across the world and many periods of architectural history (from prehistoric times to the recent past) to illustrate analytical themes and to show how drawing can be used to study architecture.
