Indeed, some rank among the finest achievements of outstanding mathematicians. Translated from a well-known Russian work entitled Non-Elementary Problems in an Elementary Exposition, the chief aim of the book is to acquaint the readers with a variety of new mathematical facts, ideas, and methods. And while the majority of the problems represent questions in higher ("non-elementary") mathematics, most can be solved with elementary mathematics. In fact, for the most part, no knowledge of mathematics beyond a good high school course is required. Volume One contains 100 problems, with detailed solutions, all dealing with probability theory and combinatorial analysis. Topics include the representation of integers as sums and products, combinatorial problems on the chessboard, geometric problems on combinatorial analysis, problems on the binomial coefficients, problems on computing probabilities, experiments with infinitely many possible outcomes, and experiments with a continuum of possible outcomes. Volume Two contains 74 problems from various branches of mathematics, dealing with such topics as points and lines, lattices of points in the plane, topology, convex polygons, distribution of objects, nondecimal counting, theory of primes, and more. In both volumes the statements of the problems are given first, followed by a section giving complete solutions. Answers and hints are given at the end of the book. Ideal as a text, for self-study, or as a working resource for a mathematics club, this wide-ranging compilation offers 174 carefully chosen problems that will test the mathematical acuity and problem-solving skills of almost any student, teacher, or mathematician. Review: Excellent - The product is excellent. It is quite explanatory. The exercises have various levels of difficulty. Ideal for those who want to delve in solving problems. Review: One of a few - I've read the Russian original of this book. It is wonderful. I really enjoyed it, and often used the ideas I found there to solve other problems. Highly recommended, espesially for the high school students unterested in mathematics, but extremely interesting for anybody who likes math. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #225,529 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #11 in Combinatorics (Books) #47 in Statistics (Books) #178 in Probability & Statistics (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 67 Reviews | ## Images ![Challenging Mathematical Problems With Elementary Solutions (Volume 2) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71nBJ+4NxVL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent *by D***A on May 21, 2014* The product is excellent.
