Product Description
For many years Serge Lang has given talks to undergraduates on selected items in mathematics which could be extracted at a level understandable by students who have had calculus. Written in a conversational tone, Lang now presents a collection of those talks as a book. The talks could be given by faculty, but even better, they may be given by students in seminars run by the students themselves. Undergraduates, and even some high school students, will enjoy the talks which cover prime numbers, the abc conjecture, approximation theorems of analysis, Bruhat-Tits spaces, harmonic and symmetric polynomials, and more in a lively and informal style.

Great problems accessible to undergradate math majors December 13, 2003

If you don't have time to participate in math seminars, this book would be a great place to broaden your undergraduate math experience! It contains the talks that Dr. Lang gave over the past decades. If you don't want to go to seminars or talks, you should definitely read it. Many interesting problems and some personal profiles!!!
