What ?? Only one review (so far) for this classic?,
By bal gombak (Cambridge, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Inequalities (Cambridge Mathematical Library) (Paperback)
A well written, classic text written by three larger than life math legends (Hardy, Littlewood, Polya). This is the definitive and monumental text on inequality -- the little angular symbols you see in all fields of mathematics -- from analysis to number theory to topology to combinatorics (i would say all fields of science but I am not a math apologist, mind you, so I would stay with those things I know something about).

Central to math education - maybe not central to yours,

This review is from: Inequalities (Cambridge Mathematical Library) (Paperback)
If you have gone through Baby Rudin and not looked at this then you are making a very BIG mistake since it is a great book. Inequalities (along with hoping we guess right and can take a limit) are fundamental. If none of this makes sense to you, move on. Otherwise, buy the book. It is elderly but very well written (as is all of Hardy's work).
