A ClassroomTested, Alternative Approach to Teaching Math for Liberal ArtsPuzzles, Paradoxes, and Problem Solving: An Introduction to Mathematical Thinking uses puzzles and paradoxes to introduce basic principles of mathematical thought. The text is designed for students in liberal arts mathematics courses. Decisionmaking situations that progress from recreational problems to important contemporary applications develop the criticalthinking skills of nonscience and nontechnical majors.The logical underpinnings of this textbook were developed and refined throughout many years of classroom feedback and in response to commentary from presentations at national conferences. The texts five units focus on graphs, logic, probability, voting, and cryptography. The authors also cover related areas, such as operations research, game theory, number theory, combinatorics, statistics, and circuit design.The text uses a core set of common representations, strategies, and algorithms to analyze diverse games, puzzles, and applications. This unified treatment logically connects the topics with a recurring set of solution approaches.Requiring no mathematical prerequisites, this book helps students explore creative mathematical thinking and enhance their own criticalthinking skills. Students will acquire quantitative literacy and appreciation of mathematics through the texts unified approach and wide range of interesting applications.
