5.0 out of 5 stars
A good collection at a best $ per problem ratio !,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Red Book of Mathematical Problems (Dover Books on Mathematics) (Paperback)
A collection of tough 100 problems of many math branches (unsorted accordingly), for undergraduates training towards competitions. Has the advantage of suggesting hints, in additions to the full solutions. A short "Sources" section contains sources , generalizations and alternative solutions for some of the problems. This book is a twin-book to "the green book of mathematical problems" by the same authors. A very good bargain !

An excellent Mathematical Training Tool for Math Competitions and any Student,
This review is from: The Red Book of Mathematical Problems (Dover Books on Mathematics) (Paperback)
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.
