5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful read
Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2009
I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to high school students with an interest in studying math in college. Typically, high school students are not exposed to well written proofs. This book would remedy the situation.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent collection of problems at the elementary level
Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2000
Written by two top-notch mathematicians, requiring the mathematics that a high school student can do, this book takes you on a journey that is easy to follow and yet shows the power of mathematics. It is an excellent book for high school enrichement or early undergraduates.
Even if you are a mathematician you will be suprized at many of the results and enjoy trying to solve some of the problems. Many of the problems are quite hard. Even though some of the problems are the standard ones, many are off the beaten track. No matter what your level of expertise, I am sure you will enjoy this book.
