Sixteen of today's greatest unsolved mathematical puzzles in a story-driven, illustrated volume that invites readers to peek over the edge of the unknown.

Most people think of mathematics as a set of useful tools designed to answer analytical questions, beginning with simple arithmetic and ending with advanced calculus. But, as Mage Merlin's Unsolved Mathematical Mysteries shows, mathematics is filled with intriguing mysteries that take us to the edge of the unknown. This richly illustrated, story-driven volume presents sixteen of today's greatest unsolved mathematical puzzles, all understandable by anyone with elementary math skills. These intriguing mysteries are presented to readers as puzzles that have time-traveled from Camelot, preserved in the notebook of Merlin, the wise magician in King Arthur's court.

Our guide is Mage Maryam (named in honor of the brilliant young mathematician, the late Maryam Mirzakhani), a distant descendant of Merlin. Maryam introduces the mysteries--each of which is presented across two beautifully illustrated pages--and provides mathematical and historical context afterward. We find Merlin confronting mathematical puzzles involving tinker toys (a present for Camelot's princesses from the sorceress Morgana), cake-slicing at a festival, Lancelot's labyrinth, a vault for the Holy Grail, and more. Each mystery is a sword awaiting removal from its stone, capturing the beauty and power of mathematics.

Excellent Black Shelf Brackets for Sturdy Shelves!
Style: Black 8 Pack, Size: 7.25 inch
I recently purchased these black shelf brackets for my home office, and they have been a game-changer! The quality is outstanding, and they provided the sturdiness I needed for my shelves. I was able to create beautiful shelves effortlessly by pairing these brackets with 8" wide pine boards. These brackets are incredibly well-made and durable. They held the weight of my books, files, and office supplies with ease, without any signs of bending or sagging. I feel confident that my items are secure and won't come crashing down. Installation was a breeze. The brackets came with all the necessary hardware, and the instructions were clear and straightforward. Within minutes, I had my shelves up and ready to use. This is my second pack of these brackets, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. They are versatile, allowing me to create customized shelves that perfectly match my office decor. The sleek black finish adds a touch of elegance to the overall look. If you're looking for high-quality and sturdy shelf brackets, I highly recommend these. They have exceeded my expectations, and I am delighted with the results. Don't hesitate to give them a try for your shelving projects!

The screws are the best part
Style: Black 6 Pack, Size: 11.25 inch, Style: Black 6 Pack, Size: 11.25 inch
OK. So I spend a lot on (and I mean A LOT) on Amazon and I never write reviews. Just not my thing. But I had to write a review for this product. These brackets are fantastic - attractive, sturdy. But what threw me was the screws - they are SUCH high quality. They don't strip or lose their black color at all even when your drill, set to 0 slip, loses grip repeatedly because you drilled the pilot hole too small and are throwing every ounce of your body weight against it to get it to drive. And they give you extra! Like, enough to mount 8.5 brackets in a 6-bracket box. I am saving alllllll of these extra screws; if I could buy them separate I would. It might seem like a small thing but hardware is usually a place companies skimp on HARD, and to be confronted with such quality was truly a breath of fresh air. The brackets take some mounting expertise to ensure everything is true - lots of measuring and leveling (some minor differences in angle + or - a couple degrees, but they're SOLID. I will be buying these again in the future. Kudos for an awesome product.
