Sudoku Sage: 366 Apprentice Puzzles

by Matthew Funcke

Overview

Ever bought a Sudoku book where the puzzles were too hard, or too easy? What about one where the techniques needed to solve the puzzles aren't explained? That's where the Sudoku Sage apprentice book comes in: it contains 366 of the easiest Sudoku puzzles you’re likely to find anywhere, along with detailed descriptions of the techniques required to solve them. That's one pleasant puzzle for every day of an entire year!

The Sudoku Sage series has been crafted to guide its readers to conquer the toughest of puzzles. This book is the first step to set you on that journey, with puzzles slowly growing from almost effortless at the start, towards an easy challenge at the end of this book. Only two of the simplest techniques are required to solve the puzzles in this book, so you won't get overwhelmed. Sudoku is a great recreational puzzle that exercises your brain while you have fun, so go ahead and buy a copy.

Sometimes it's helpful to just hold the challenge in your hand, with that thinking in mind I specially formatted Sudoku Sage to make printing puzzles a breeze. So that whether it is on paper or your smart device, you can beat the game the way you want to.

About the Author

I am a programmer...
Over the years I've had exposure to approximately 14 different programming languages of various types (ranging from assembler to F#), my speciality is C# however I am also highly competent in Java and Python. As bizarre as it sounds programming is actually one of my hobbies - as well as my work - because it can be so challenging, rewarding, and varied. All of the books I've written and plan on writing rely on things I've learned while programming, and teaching programming (for example writing a Sudoku solving program helped me start the Sudoku Sage series). My other hobbies include gaming, chess, Sudoku, and Judo.

Like many people I know I used to struggle at school - and even university - until I eventually found my own unique way of learning: anything I needed to learn I would turn into a program. This process improved my retention and understanding ten fold, and I'd like very much to pass this learning technique on to whomever reads my more teaching oriented books.

Here's my academic history: I completed my B.Sc with majors in Computer Science and Information Systems in 2010. In 2011 I completed my B.Sc Honours degree in Computer Science which included courses in electronics interfacing, image processing, security, advanced computer architecture, A.I. and networking. I completed my M.Sc in computer science at Rhodes University in 2014, with the focus of my thesis being on teaching programming at a fundamental level through a novel game.
