good for revision,
By
This review is from: The Green Book of Mathematical Problems (Paperback)
This book is not just for preparing to take the Putnam. More broadly, the problems are a great revision set. The subjects range from multivariate integration to finite series to infinite sums and classical analysis. There are also questions drawn from geometry, group theory and linear algebra. A formidable range. The level of difficulty is suitable for a third year undergraduate maths major.
Interested readers may want to scope out the companion Red Book by the same authors.
