Amenitsky's Arithmetic Games
by N. N. Amenitsky
Translated by Valery Manokhin, PhD
Four mathematical games — the racing game, guessing numbers, the Tower of Lucas and the game with a needle — that turn place value, doubling, parity and a first experiment in probability into play, in first faithful English translation from the original Russian edition. A short 31-page reading edition with four illustrations, for curious students, teachers and readers of recreational mathematics. No prerequisites beyond arithmetic.
