When Elita’s best friend, Carmella, disappears under mysterious circumstances. Elita feels driven to find her. She’s convinced the puzzle Carmella was working on the day she disappeared is somehow involved. She takes the puzzle and puts it together herself—and suddenly finds herself pulled into Puzzle Land. Elita is confronted by a strange and sinister man named Professor Robinson, an evil wizard who cast a spell on puzzles. In the beginning, he wanted to create a special place for the homeless children of the world, but his greed took hold. The professor began to kidnap any child he could. Soon, Andy and Aaron follow Elita and Carmella into the puzzle. As they travel through Puzzle Land, their bodies begin to take on the shape of a new creature. It is only after they learn to forgive one another, to be honest, and to work as a team that they find the strength to escape Professor Robinson and his puzzle world.

Algorithmic Puzzles
Author: Anany Levitin
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199876541
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
While many think of algorithms as specific to computer science, at its core algorithmic thinking is defined by the use of analytical logic to solve problems. This logic extends far beyond the realm of computer science and into the wide and entertaining world of puzzles. In Algorithmic Puzzles, Anany and Maria Levitin use many classic brainteasers as well as newer examples from job interviews with major corporations to show readers how to apply analytical thinking to solve puzzles requiring well-defined procedures. The book's unique collection of puzzles is supplemented with carefully developed tutorials on algorithm design strategies and analysis techniques intended to walk the reader step-by-step through the various approaches to algorithmic problem solving. Mastery of these strategies--exhaustive search, backtracking, and divide-and-conquer, among others--will aid the reader in solving not only the puzzles contained in this book, but also others encountered in interviews, puzzle collections, and throughout everyday life. Each of the 150 puzzles contains hints and solutions, along with commentary on the puzzle's origins and solution methods. The only book of its kind, Algorithmic Puzzles houses puzzles for all skill levels. Readers with only middle school mathematics will develop their algorithmic problem-solving skills through puzzles at the elementary level, while seasoned puzzle solvers will enjoy the challenge of thinking through more difficult puzzles.

The Magic Prism
Author: Howard Wettstein
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190289619
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
The late 20th century saw great movement in the philosophy of language, often critical of the fathers of the subject--Gottlieb Frege and Bertrand Russell--but sometimes supportive of (or even defensive about) the work of the fathers. Howard Wettstein's sympathies lie with the critics. But he says that they have often misconceived their critical project, treating it in ways that are technically focused and that miss the deeper implications of their revolutionary challenge. Wettstein argues that Wittgenstein--a figure with whom the critics of Frege and Russell are typically unsympathetic--laid the foundation for much of what is really revolutionary in this late 20th century movement. The subject itself should be of great interest, since philosophy of language has functioned as a kind of foundation for much of 20th century philosophy. But in fact it remains a subject for specialists, since the ideas are difficult and the mode of presentation is often fairly technical. In this book, Wettstein brings the non-specialist into the conversation (especially in early chapters); he also reconceives the debate in a way that avoids technical formulation. The Magic Prism is intended for professional philosophers, graduate students, and upper division undergraduates.
