The Soma cube is one of the most famous mechanical puzzles in the world. The main challenge is to build a cube or other structures from all seven pieces. The puzzles in this collection use the pieces as building blocks only, and showcase many versatile challenges, from all types of recreational mathematics fields. For example, you will find symmetry puzzles, cover-up puzzles and even fraction puzzles. The chapters are divided according to the number of pieces used; from single-piece puzzles to puzzles requiring a complete set. From the moment we changed the rules, we felt that the sky is the limit! There is something magical and enchanting in those seven pieces that enabled us to find many puzzles and challenges! Most of the puzzles demonstrated are new and original. Some are based on classic puzzles, as well as more modern ones, modified and presented by using the set of Soma pieces. This is a unique collection of puzzles - all you need is a set of the Soma cube. The puzzles range from easy to difficult and they appeal to a wide audience - all within the reach of the general public. It presents many geometrical and mathematical principals, and makes them easier to understand. However, no special knowledge in mathematics or geometry is required.

This volume aims to provide a reference to the development of robotic intelligence, built upon Semantic Computing, in terms of "action" to realize the "context" and "intention" formulated by Semantics Computing during the "thinking" or reasoning process.

The art or skill of problem solving in mathematics is mostly relegated to the strategies one can use to solve problems in the field. Although this book addresses that issue, it delves deeply into the psychological aspects that affect successful problem-solving. Such topics as decision-making, judgment, and reasoning as well as using memory effectively and a discussion of the thought processes that could help address certain problem-solving situations. Most books that address problem-solving and mathematics focus on the various skills. This book goes beyond that and investigates the psychological aspects to solving problems in mathematics.

For many observers, today's world seems indecipherable. The Earth is in such jeopardy that some scientists speak of a new accelerated geological era. The resurgence of barbarism and terrorism in the name of religion is seen as a historical regression. At the same time, waves of technological innovations are constantly surging, particularly in the fields of energy and information - sources of economic, ecological and social transformations. These advances point to an accelerated evolution of the human being. Never has the present been subjected to such a tectonic shock between it's future and it's past, the consequences of which seem difficult to foresee and can sometimes be distressing. Between naive belief in the unlimited benefits of technology and resignation to the cycle of calamities, there is room to build a global governance aiming at organising a geopolitical order to derive the best of the human experience. This book opens us to a better understanding of our times.
