Dolciani Mathematical Expositions Ross Honsberger is renowned for his collections of ingenious undergraduate level teasers and puzzles and mind boggingly impossible riddles, the solutions of which are obvious once they've been explained to you. He has done it again with From Erdös to Kiev. —New Scientist As is typical of books in this series, From Erdös to Kiev, which honors Paul Erdös and problems that he presented, contains more than fifty problems and their solutions. The problems have been taken from various examinations, such as the AIME Examination, the International Olympiad, and several national competitions. The author found a majority of his problems in the "Olympiad Corner" columns of the 1987 and 1988 volumes of the Canadian Mathematical Society's problems journal, Crux Mathematicorum...The book is a truly wonderful resource for mathematical problem solvers. —The Mathematics Teacher In an intriguing approach to mathematics, Honsberger has collected problems which can be solved with elementary math techniques...They are challenging, motivating, and fun for the student, teacher, or inveterate problem solver. —Book News Ross Honsberger's love of mathematics comes through very clearly in From Erdös to Kiev. He presents intriguing, stimulating problems that can be solved with elementary mathematical techniques. It will give pleasure to motivated students and their teachers, but it will also appeal to anyone who enjoys a mathematical challenge. Most of the problems in the collection have appeared on national or international Olympiads. Thus, they are quite challenging (with solutions that are all the more rewarding). The solutions use straightforward arguments from elementary mathematics often not very technical arguments with only the occasional foray into sophisticated or advanced ideas. Anyone with a facility in high school mathematics is capable of appreciating most of this book. The problems included in this collection are taken from geometry, number theory, probability, and combinatorics. Solutions to the problems are included.
