Recreational mathematics is inspired by deep ideas that are hidden in puzzles, games, and other forms of play. The aim of the SIGMAA on Recreational Mathematics (SIGMAA-Rec) is to bring together enthusiasts and researchers in the myriad of topics that fall under recreational math. We will share results and ideas from our work, show that real ...
Skyblock is a minigame in the sandbox video game Minecraft. [1] The original minigame consists of a small island floating in the air, on which a player must survive on, [2] although the gameplay and rules may vary. [3] It was originally created by a user going by the name Noobcrew in 2011, and subsequently published to minecraftforum. [4]

He is known for his work in recreational mathematics. He has made contributions working on both the square packing problem and the magic tile problem. In 1979 he discovered the optimal known packing of 11 equal squares in a larger square, [ 2 ] and in 2003, along with Christian Boyer , developed the first known magic cube of order 5. [ 3 ]
This is a list of recreational number theory topics (see number theory, recreational mathematics). Listing here is not pejorative: many famous topics in number theory have origins in challenging problems posed purely for their own sake. See list of number theory topics for pages dealing with aspects of number theory with more consolidated theories
As his interest in mathematics grew, so did his love of magic squares, and cubes. His interest in magic squares led to higher dimensions: magic cubes, tesseracts , etc. He developed a new diagram for the four-dimensional tesseract.
Problem 18: The problem of the wolf, goat, and cabbage [2], p. 112., and; Problem 19: Propositio de viro et muliere ponderantibus plaustrum. In this problem, a man and a woman of equal weight, together with two children, each of half their weight, wish to cross a river using a boat which can only carry the weight of one adult; [2], p. 112.
