- catalog abstract "Can you cut an octagon into five pieces and rearrange them into a square? How about turning a star into a pentagon? These are just two of the many challenges of geometric dissections, the mathematical art of cutting figures into pieces that can be rearranged to form other figures, using as few pieces as possible. This book shows you many ingenious ways to solve these problems and the beautiful constructions you can create. This beautifully illustrated book will provide hours of enjoyment for any mathematical puzzle enthusiast.".
