Recreations in the Theory of Numbers

Dover Publications, 1964

WHILE the author was a student, an enthusiastic mathematics professor recommended to the class a book entitled Mathematical Recreations and Essays, by W. W. R. Ball. The students dutifully made a note of the title and most of them no doubt promptly forgot about it. Many years later when the book was mentioned to several of the author's own classes,...

Advanced Euclidean Geometry (Dover Books on Mathematics)

Dover Publications, 2007

Tms book deals with the geometry of the triangle and the circle, as developed extensively in the nineteenth century by British and Continental writers. This geometry, based entirely on the elementary plane geometry of Euclid or its modern equivalent, is rapidly coming to its due recognition as excellent material for college courses. Perhaps in no...

A Primer for Mathematics Competitions

Oxford University Press, 2009

The importance of mathematics competitions has been widely recognized for three reasons: they help to develop imaginative capacity and thinking skills whose value far transcends mathematics; they constitute the most effective way of discovering and nurturing mathematical talent; and they provide a means to combat the prevalent false image of...
