Introduction Enjoy solving a variety of mathematical pattern puzzles, including prime num- bers, Fibonacci-like series, visual pat- terns, analogies, arrays, and more. This book starts out easy with basic patterns and simple puzzles, and the level of difficulty steadily grows so that people of all ages and abilities can enjoy many of the patterns and puzzles in this book. Each chapter begins with a brief intro- duction (and, where necessary, a quick review) of the relevant concepts, followed by 2-3 examples of pattern puzzles with explanations. The answer, along with an explana- tion, to every puzzle can be found at the end of the book.
