"Amusements in Mathematics" by Henry Ernest Dudeney is a collection of mathematical puzzles and problems written in the early 20th century. This engaging work aims to entertain readers while stimulating their mathematical reasoning and logic skills through a variety of intriguing puzzles, ranging from arithmetic and algebra to geometry and logic. The opening of the book provides context on the puzzles’ approach and serves as a prelude to the content that follows. Dudeney emphasizes the universal nature of puzzles, suggesting that everyone engages in problem-solving throughout their daily lives, often unconsciously applying logical thinking. He intends to keep the tone light and enjoyable, allowing readers of all levels to participate in the fun while presenting an array of puzzles, including those involving money, age, kinship, and more.
