The Gödelian Puzzle Book: Puzzles, Paradoxes and… de Raymond M. Smullyan

Non so quanto i problemi aiutino un libro così tecnico

Comincio subito a mettere le mani avanti. Nonostante le apparenze, questo testo è molto tecnico, tanto che parte dai teoremi di indeterminatezza di Gödel e prosegue con le successive semplificazioni ed estensioni. Certo, è nello stile di Smullyan e quindi la trattazione è sotto forma di problemini (e problemoni...) da risolvere: confesso che dopo un po' ho lasciato perdere i problemi e mi sono limitato a guardare la parte con le soluzioni. Insomma, perfetto per gli amanti della logica a livello universitario, ma non so a chi lo consiglierei.… (mais)

The Tao Is Silent de Raymond M. Smullyan

Not much here. Kind of cute, as if Feynman was into Taoism. I liked some of his logic-wordplay, I'm interested in reading something else of his maybe.

JAK SE JMENUJE TAHLE KNÍŽKA? de Raymond M. Smullyan

V novém, upraveném vydání vychází tato slavná kniha amerického matematika, v níž nás zve třeba na ostrovy poctivců a padouchů, do světa Alenky v říši divů a za zrcadlem a Shakespearova Benátského kupce, k inspektoru Fishtrawnovi ze Scotland Yardu, mezi vlkodlaky nebo za hrabětem Draculou. Autor nám představuje 271 hádanek, chytáků či logických paradoxů a pro kontrolu samozřejmě nabízí i jejich podrobná řešení.
Hravou a vtipnou formou nás uvádí například do světa výrokové logiky a teorie množin včetně proslulého Gödelova principu. Úlohy jsou vhodné pro všechny milovníky záhad a logiky i pro ty, kdo se chtějí zdokonalit v řešení některých částí testů obecných studijních předpokladů.… (mais)
