Description
BIRKHAUSER Mathematical Bridges 2017 Edition by Titu Andreescu Cristinel Mortici Marian Tetiva
Building bridges between classical results and contemporary nonstandard problems this highly relevant work embraces important topics in analysis and algebra from a problem-solving perspective. The book is structured to assist the reader in formulating and proving conjectures as well as devising solutions to important mathematical problems by making connections between various concepts and ideas from different areas of mathematics. Instructors and motivated mathematics students from high school juniors to college seniors will find the work a useful resource in calculus linear and abstract algebra analysis and differential equations. Students with an interest in mathematics competitions must have this book in their personal libraries.
