Various elementary techniques for solving problems in algebra, geometry, and combinatorics are explored in this new second edition, ‘Mathematics as ProblemSolving’. Each new chapter builds off the previous one, enhancing the reader to reach new levels of using logic to solve problems. Every topic is presentedin self-contained chapters, offering classical solutions as well as Soifer's own discoveries that he found through his problem-solving experiences. With roughly 200 different problems and multiple proofs for each, the reader is challenged to approach problems from different angles, and in this way can experience the beauty of mathematics. Aims to develop young mathematicians’ problem-solving abilities Inspires readers to explore a range of methods of solving algebraic, geometric, and combinatorial problems Offers examples and practice problems Engages a general audience First edition was Endorsed by the NCTM INDICE: Preface.- Language and a Few Celebrated Ideas.- Numbers.- Algebra.- Geometry.- Combinatorial Problems.- Literature.
