Set: One of each charm.

Clue: Here is a nice easy first level. Since a set requires one of

each charm, and there are three kinds of charms, each set must

contain three charms. In the first puzzle, note the heart in the

upper left corner, it must be enclosed with a star to make a set. If

you imagine a path to a star that does not require grouping more

than three tiles, you easily see that the star top center is the

only possibility. When you include the moon between the two

charms, you made your first correct set.

appeal to students in many fi elds

Comprehensive treatment of the applications of proof theory to logic and other areas of mathematics

The European Mathematical Awakening A Journey Through the History of Mathematics from 1000 to 1800 Edited by Frank J. Swetz

A global survey of the history of mathematics, this collection of 32 articles traces the subject from AD 1000 to 1800. Newly corrected and updated, the highly readable essays by such distinguished educators as Carl Boyer and Morris Kline intro-duce fascinating studies by Fibonacci, Descartes, Cardano, Kepler, Galileo, Pascal, Newton, Euler, and others. Suitable for readers with no background in math.
