Editorial Reviews

Review

From the reviews: "The present English edition is not a mere translation of the German original. Many new problems have been added. (Jahresb. DMV) "There are some excellent books which are indispensable to the instruction of indeed good mathematicians and this volume is, without any doubt, one of them. The broad horizon of the book, its clear style and logical construction are some of the qualities which assure From the reviews: "The work is one of the real classics of this century; it has had much influence on teaching, on research in several branches of hard analysis, particularly complex function theory, and it has been an essential indispensable source book for those seriously interested in mathematical problems. These volumes contain many extraordinary problems and sequences of problems, mostly from some time past, well worth attention today and tomorrow. Written in the early twenties by two young mathematicians of outstanding talent, taste, breadth, perception, perseverence, and pedagogical skill, this work broke new ground in the teaching of mathematics and how to do mathematical research."  -Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society

This review is from: Problems and Theorems in Analysis I: Series, Integral Calculus, Theory of Functions (Classics in Mathematics) (Paperback)

This book by Polya and Szego contains many wonderful gems of mathematics. The exercises are very interesting, and sometimes I pick the book up just for fun. I wish I had been able to purchase a hardcover copy. Unfortunately, it's only available in paperback.

This book is suitable for mathematics graduate students.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent. A good way to start researches, October 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Problems and Theorems in Analysis I: Series, Integral Calculus, Theory of Functions (Classics in Mathematics) (Paperback)

The selected problems aren't the typical ones. The great beauty of many results are marvellous and, disposed in dificulty ascendent, are teh best way to start researches. I teach in the University of Málaga and I'm interested in the second vol.
