The Green book of Mathematical Problems is definitely a great book. It contains challenging brainteasers that will be of interest to anyone interested in undergraduate-level mathematical problems dealing with real numbers, differential equations, integrals, polynomials, sets and other mathematical topics. This book offers a selection of 100 problems with hints and solutions. The hints are very helpful and the solutions are easy to follow. The book isn't expensive. So it's a good choice.

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.

This handy book is a compilation of 100 practice problems, with separated chapters for both hints and solutions to each problem. The problems are especially chosen for students preparing for undergraduate math competitions, but these challenging brain-teasers will be of interest to anyone interested in math problems dealing with real numbers, differential equations, integrals, polynomials, sets and other mathematical topics.

Problems solvers at varying degrees of proficiency will find here a treasury of top-notch numerical puzzles that will offer hour of stimulating entertainment, while challenging their problem solving skills.

this book is directed towards high school students preparing to take mathematics competetion such as the CMC and IPO. the book contains 100 thinking skills math question with solutions. Being a high school student (with a huge intrest for math) i was able to solve 71 problems, but i must admit that i really did face ALOT of problems solving some of them.(wait till you see the solution for question #5, #8, #41 and 46 Recomended to any high school student prepared to sit any exam or have an intrest for pure thinking skills math qestions, but if you are looking for something REALLY hard then you best look somewhere else...

This weird titled book contains 100 mathematical problems. Most of the problems in the book require high school level mathematics.... Personally I - a high school student- found no difficulty solving 71 problems in the book. Unfortunately a good number of the problems in the book, I have seen in other mathematical problem books. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the problems in the book. The book is targeted to those students preparing to take math competition such as ILO and the CMC. The solution of the problem are clearly outlined and I had no difficulty following them...wait till you see the solution for problems #21, #41, #42 and #90... I strongly recommend this to high school student interested in mathematics, if you are looking for something REALLY REALLY hard you could well steer away from this book and find something harder...
