One Universal Key To Solving The 2x2 Cube

One Universal Key to Solving the 2x2 Cube

When I was a kid the Rubik’s cube™ flooded the country like a pandemic and I too had to have one just like all my friends did. I could not be any less skilled than my friends so I quickly bought a booklet giving me the various patterns needed to solve the cube. After learning these patterns the game was shifted to race who could solve the cube the quickest. As a grown up my kids were introduced to the cube and I had forgotten most patterns but this gave me an opportunity to challenge myself to figure out the patterns myself. In this booklet I will let you know how I managed to find such patterns, so that you also can figure it out yourself, and how to solve the cube step by step. After each step I will add a break giving you the opportunity to figure out the rest yourself. If you don’t manage then just keep reading. If, on the other hand, you just want to learn the necessary patterns to solve the 2x2x2 cube then this book is also for you. Not only will I give you the necessary patterns but I will simply give you one pattern to solve the whole cube. One pattern to solve the bottom, difficult, side more precisely.

Sherlock Holmes in Babylon and Other Tales of Mathematical History

Covering a span of almost 4000 years, from the ancient Babylonians to the eighteenth century, this collection chronicles the enormous changes in mathematical thinking over this time as viewed by distinguished historians of mathematics from the past and the present. Each of the four sections of the book (Ancient Mathematics, Medieval and Renaissance Mathematics, The Seventeenth Century, The Eighteenth Century) is preceded by a Foreword, in which the articles are put into historical context, and followed by an Afterword, in which they are reviewed in the light of current historical scholarship. In more than one case, two articles on the same topic are included to show how knowledge and views about the topic changed over the years. This book will be enjoyed by anyone interested in mathematics and its history - and, in particular, by mathematics teachers at secondary, college, and university levels.
