How many of us can cut an octagon into five pieces and rearrange them into a square; or turn a star into a pentagon? These are just two of the infinite challenges of geometric dissections, the mathematical art of cutting figures into pieces that can be rearranged to form other figures with as few pieces as possible. This beautiful book shows the many ingenious creations to be made in this manner. 528 line drawings.
