Produktbeschreibung

This book can be seen as a continuation of Equations and Inequalities: El ementary Problems and Theorems in Algebra and Number Theory by the same authors, and published as the first volume in this book series. How ever, it can be independently read or used as a textbook in its own right. This book is intended as a text for a problem-solving course at the first or second-year university level, as a text for enrichment classes for talented high-school students, or for mathematics competition training. It can also be used as a source of supplementary material for any course dealing with combinatorics, graph theory, number theory, or geometry, or for any of the discrete mathematics courses that are offered at most American and Canadian universities. The underlying "philosophy" of this book is the same as that of Equations and Inequalities. The following paragraphs are therefore taken from the preface of that book.

Rezensionen

From the reviews: THE BULLETIN OF MATHEMATICS BOOKS "In each topic, brief theoretical discussions are immediately followed by carefully worked-out examples of increasing degrees of difficulty, and by exercises that range form routine to rather challenging. While this book emphasizes some methods that are not usually covered in beginning university courses, it nevertheless teaches techniques and skills that are useful not only in the specific topics covered here."
