Packed with more than a hundred color illustrations and a wide variety of puzzles        and brainteasers, Taking Sudoku Seriously uses this popular craze as the starting        point for a fun-filled introduction to higher mathematics.How many Sudoku solution        squares are there? What shapes other than three-by-three blocks can serve as        acceptable Sudoku regions? What is the fewest number of starting clues a sound        Sudoku puzzle can have? Does solving Sudoku require mathematics? Jason Rosenhouse        and Laura Taalman show that answering these questions opens the door to a wealth of        interesting mathematics. Indeed, they show that Sudoku puzzles and their variants        are a gateway into mathematical thinking generally. Among many topics, the authors        look at the notion of a Latin square--an object of long-standing interest to        mathematicians--of which Sudoku squares are a special case; discuss how one finds        interesting Sudoku puzzles; explore the connections between Sudoku, graph theory,        and polynomials; and consider Sudoku extremes, including puzzles with the maximal        number of vacant regions, with the minimal number of starting clues, and numerous        others. The book concludes with a gallery of novel Sudoku variations--just pure        solving fun! Most of the puzzles are original to this volume, and all solutions to        the puzzles appear in the back of the book or in the text itself.A math book and a        puzzle book, Taking Sudoku Seriously will change the way readers look at Sudoku and        mathematics, serving both as an introduction to mathematics for puzzle fans and as        an exploration of the intricacies of Sudoku for mathematics buffs.
