Teaching Mathematics with Rubik's Cube.
Davis, Tom
Two-Year College Mathematics Journal, v13 n3 p178-85 Jun 1982
Rubik's Cube is viewed as a tool to generate student interest in applying rather sophisticated mathematics to generate some solution algorithms. Discussion begins with the creation of a notation method for the cube and develops into applications of permutations and set concepts. A special "cycle notation" is employed. (MP)
