4.0 out of 5 stars A collection of difficult problems that will test you, October 28, 2000

This review is from: Only problems, not solutions!

This book was one of the first of the collections of problems by Florentin Smarandache that I read. As the title implies, it contains only a listing of problems, with solutions the province of the reader. I spent a great deal of time working with these problems and managed to make progress on several of them. Like all good mathematics problems, complete solutions are elusive, difficult and fun to pursue. I enjoyed them so much that it was part of the motivation for me to write three books on the problems posed by Smarandache, which are known as Smarandache notions.
The problems are primarily in the area of number theory, which as the luminary Paul Erdos often said, makes them easy to state and understand, but hard to prove. If you are interested in problems that will frustrate and fascinate you, check out the ones in this book.
