The Pea and the Sun: A Mathematical Paradox. Take an apple and cut it into five pieces. Would you believe that these five pieces can be reassembled in such a manner that would to create two apples equal in shape and size to the original? Would you believe that you could make something as large as the Sun by breaking something so small as a pea into a finite number of pieces and putting it back . Neither did Leonard Wapner, author of The Pea and the Sun, when he was first introduced to the Banach-Tarski paradox, which asserts exactly such a notion.

However, in his book "The Sun and the Pea", Leonard M. Wapner delivers a captivating account of how this can actually be achieved based on the Banach-Tarski Paradox or Theorem. The author explores the history, characters and mathematics behind this extraordinary theorem, of which little is known outside of the mathematical community. Pris: kr. Häftad, Skickas inom vardagar. Köp The Pea and the Sun av Leonard M Wapner på www.doorway.ru Wapner writes about the nature of paradox, describes types of paradoxes, and includes an early chapter on the puzzle paradoxes popularized by Sam Lloyd. He concludes the book with his thoughts on the implications of Banach-Tarski for the nature of mathematical reality and with his own speculations on the future of mathematics.
