Author: George T. Gilbert
Publisher: Mathematical Association of America
ISBN: 9780883853160
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 243
Book Description
If you like problem solving, this book belongs on your shelf. Some knowledge of linear or abstract algebra is needed for a few of the problems, but most require nothing beyond calculus, and many should be accessible to high school students. The book centers on solutions which are elegant, instructive, and clear. Often several solutions to the same problem are presented. There are many hints and comments to help you and to put solutions in a broader perspective. Indices are provided which may be especially helpful to problem solving classes and to teams of individuals preparing for contests such as the Putnam exam.

Linear Algebra Problem Book
Author: Paul R. Halmos
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 1614442126
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 349
Book Description
Linear Algebra Problem Book can be either the main course or the dessert for someone who needs linear algebraand today that means every user of mathematics. It can be used as the basis of either an official course or a program of private study. If used as a course, the book can stand by itself, or if so desired, it can be stirred in with a standard linear algebra course as the seasoning that provides the interest, the challenge, and the motivation that is needed by experienced scholars as much as by beginning students. The best way to learn is to do, and the purpose of this book is to get the reader to DO linear algebra. The approach is Socratic: first ask a question, then give a hint (if necessary), then, finally, for security and completeness, provide the detailed answer.

The Mathematical Olympiad Handbook
Author: Anthony Gardiner
Publisher: Oxford Science Publications
ISBN: 9780198501053
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
Olympiad problems help able school students flex their mathematical muscles. Good Olympiad problems are unpredictable: this makes them worthwhile but it also makes them seem hard and even unapproachable. The Mathematical Olympiad Handbook contains some of the problems and solutions from the British Mathematical Olympiads from 1965 to 1996 in a form designed to help bright students overcome this barrier.

Euler
Author: William Dunham
Publisher: American Mathematical Society
ISBN: 147046618X
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 185
Book Description
Leonhard Euler was one of the most prolific mathematicians that have ever lived. This book examines the huge scope of mathematical areas explored and developed by Euler, which includes number theory, combinatorics, geometry, complex variables and many more. The information known to Euler over 300 years ago is discussed, and many of his advances are reconstructed. Readers will be left in no doubt about the brilliance and pervasive influence of Euler's work.

Icons of Mathematics: An Exploration of Twenty Key Images
Author: Claudi Alsina
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 1470456168
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 347
Book Description
The authors present twenty icons of mathematics, that is, geometrical shapes such as the right triangle, the Venn diagram, and the yang and yin symbol and explore mathematical results associated with them. As with their previous books (Charming Proofs, When Less is More, Math Made Visual) proofs are visual whenever possible. The results require no more than high-school mathematics to appreciate and many of them will be new even to experienced readers. Besides theorems and proofs, the book contains many illustrations and it gives connections of the icons to the world outside of mathematics. There are also problems at the end of each chapter, with solutions provided in an appendix. The book could be used by students in courses in problem solving, mathematical reasoning, or mathematics for the liberal arts. It could also be read with pleasure by professional mathematicians, as it was by the members of the Dolciani editorial board, who unanimously recommend its publication.
