Book synopsis

In Chases and Escapes, Paul Nahin gives us the first complete history of this fascinating mathematics behind pursuit theory, from its classical analytical beginnings to the present day. Nahin also offers an array of challenging puzzles with their historical background and broader applications. Chases and Escapes includes solutions to all problems and provides computer programs that readers can use for their own cutting-edge analysis. Now with a gripping new preface on how the Enola Gay escaped the shock wave from the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, this book will appeal to anyone interested in the mathematics that underlie pursuit and evasion.
