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.

Stunning
Color: Sliver, Color: Sliver
Used this on top of henna. It was incredible! I've never used a glitter with more sparkle, and when it stuck to the henna, it gave it an almost mirror finish... *but* I cannot overemphasize the amount of glitter you will be dealing with. The booth next to mine was covered in my glitter, despite there being no wind. I sneezed glitter after a day of doing henna. It's fantastic if you're only going to use it once in a while, or for a special party, but I would be concerned about breathing in glitter if you use it often.

Gorgeous Glow Without The Mess
This glitter spray is gorgeous! It gives a pretty, even shimmer without feeling sticky or heavy. The spray bottle makes it easy to apply exactly where you want it, and the sparkle lasts for hours. Perfect for nights out, photos, or just adding a little glam. I love it!
