Reviews
' ... an excellent resource for anyone with little previous knowledge to understand the basics, but with enough detail to satisfy the interest of all but the most ardent mathmos.' Eureka, '… a thorough comprehensible work … keeps the text readable and easy to follow. … This book would be appropriate for anyone at the undergraduate level or higher, and would likely be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in recreational mathematics.' Mathematical Association of America Online, 'Pook's book summarizes a great deal of what is known about flexagons of all shapes and types, and contains much new material … an excellent purchase for someone who already knows something about flexagons and wants to know more.' Ethan Berkove, Lafayette College, 'This book would be an excellent purchase for someone who already knows something about flexagons and wants to know more.' Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, "The most extensive and thorough study of flexagons available." Mathematical Association of America, Robert McGuigan, 'The main advantage of the book is that it gives a mathematical analysis of flexagons by using only elementary mathematical concepts. Thus this book will be very useful for anybody who is not a professional mathematician but wants to get some insight into the mathematical structure of these exciting puzzles.' EMS Newsletter, 'Pook's book summarizes a great deal of what is known about flexagons of all shapes and types, and contains much new material ... an excellent purchase for someone who already knows something about flexagons and wants to know more.' Ethan Berkove, Lafayette College, '... a thorough comprehensible work ... keeps the text readable and easy to follow. ... This book would be appropriate for anyone at the undergraduate level or higher, and would likely be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in recreational mathematics.' Mathematical Association of America Online, "Flexagons Inside Out is a thorough and comprehensible work on the mathematical structure of flexagons...The author intended the material in this book to be at the recreational mathematics level, and he certainly succeeds in his goal. There is ample mathematical content to satisfy readers at nearly any level, however Pook also keeps the text readable and easy to follow." Math Horizons, 'This interesting book contains a wide collection of nets for making paper models of flexagons.' Zentralblatt MATH, ' … an excellent resource for anyone with little previous knowledge to understand the basics, but with enough detail to satisfy the interest of all but the most ardent mathmos.'

Synopsis
Flexagons, paper models that can be bent in different ways to change their shape, are easy to make and work in surprising ways. This book contains numerous diagrams that the reader can photocopy and use to construct a variety of fascinating flexagons. The author also explains the mathematics behind these amazing creations. Although knowledge of the technical details requires a mathematical background, the models can be made and used by anyone. Flexagons appeals to all readers interested in puzzles and recreational mathematics., Flexagons are hinged polygons that have the intriguing property of displaying different pairs of faces when they are flexed. Workable paper models of flexagons are easy to make and entertaining to manipulate. Flexagons have a surprisingly complex mathematical structure and just how a flexagon works is not obvious on casual examination of a paper model. Flexagons may be appreciated at three different levels. Firstly as toys or puzzles, secondly as a recreational mathematics topic and finally as the subject of serious mathematical study. This book is written for anyone interested in puzzles or recreational maths. No previous knowledge of flexagons is assumed, and the only pre-requisite is some knowledge of elementary geometry. An attractive feature of the book is a collection of nets, with assembly instructions, for a wide range of paper models of flexagons. These are printed full size and laid out so they can be photocopied., Flexagons are paper models that can be flexed in different ways to change their shape. They are easy to make, and work in surprising ways. This book explains the maths behind flexagons and includes instructions to make them. Flexagons will appeal to anyone interested in puzzles or recreational maths.
