{"product_id":"9789814675079","title":"The Magic Garden of George B and Other Logic Puzzles","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe author presents a bombshell puzzle so startling that it seems incredible that there could be any solution at all! But there is indeed a solution — moreover, one that requires a chain of lesser puzzles to be solved first. The reader is thus taken on a journey through a maze of subsidiary problems that has all the earmarks of an entertaining detective story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book leads the unwary reader into deep logical waters through seductively entertaining logic puzzles. One example is Boolean algebra with such weird looking equations as 1+1=0 — a subject which today plays a vital role, not only in mathematical systems, but also in computer science and artificial intelligence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eIt's All a Question of Logic!:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePuzzles or Monkey Tricks?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhich Lady?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhich Witch?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhich Island?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMcGregor's Arithmetic Tricks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsk Eldon White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAl, the Chemist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSane or Mad?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Strange Case of McSnurd\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Knight-Knave Disease\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHuman or Android?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable Lying and Paradox\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Magic Garden:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeorge's Garden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSome Neighboring Gardens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Grand Problem Solved!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoolean Gardens and Variable Liars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePropositional Logic and Boolean Gardens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Boolean Theory of Sets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoolean Algebras in General\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoolean Gardens Revisited\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnother Grand Problem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeorge Boole and Mathematical Logic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e General public who is interested in logic puzzles, researchers in boolean algebra.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDr Smullyan is world renowned for his logic puzzles ... second to none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEverything within the book is developed from scratch.
