Recensione:

From the book reviews:

“The book’s approach is to present many problems, and for each one, discuss how to present it to students and how to help them learn in the course of working on it. ... this book does a very nice job of bringing together an impressive collection of puzzles and presenting them to teachers in a manner that supports their use in an undergraduate classroom.” (S. L. Tanimoto, Computing Reviews, November, 2014)
