Словарь-справочник математических игр и головоломок.

This dictionary provides a tantalizing variety of paradoxes, games, problems, and puzzles
that will appeal to mathematics enthusiasts at every level of proficiency. Eiss introduces his subject
with an overview of the history of recreational mathematics and its relation to some theoretical questions
that have occupied mathematicians for centuries.
Dictionary entries include problems posed by particular thinkers as well as traditional puzzlers
that have come down to us anonymously. Information on the origins and history of many of the activities
is supplied.
