The Handbook of Cubic Math unveils the theory involved in Rubik's
Cube's solution, the potential applications of that theory to other
similar puzzles, and how the cube provides a physical example for many
concepts in mathematics where such examples are difficult to find.
Nonetheless, the authors have been able to cover and explain these
topics in a way which is easily understandable to the layman, suitable
for a junior-high-school or high-school course in math, and appropriate
for a college course in modern algebra. This manual will satisfy the
experts' curiosity about the moves that lead to the solution of the cube
and will offer a useful supplementary teaching aid to the beginners.
