Synopsis

Curiosa Mathematica, Part 2: Pillow Problems Thought Out During Wakeful Hours (1894) is a book written by the renowned author Charles L. Dodgson, better known by his pen name Lewis Carroll. The book is a sequel to his earlier work, Curiosa Mathematica, and is a collection of mathematical puzzles and problems that were created by Dodgson himself during his sleepless nights. The book is divided into chapters, each of which contains a series of problems related to a specific mathematical concept. The problems are presented in a playful and entertaining way, with Dodgson using his characteristic wit and humor to engage the reader. The book is aimed at a general audience, and does not require any advanced mathematical knowledge to understand. However, it will be particularly appealing to those with an interest in recreational mathematics or puzzle-solving. Overall, Curiosa Mathematica, Part 2 is a charming and engaging book that showcases Dodgson's love of mathematics and his talent for creating entertaining and thought-provoking puzzles.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
