Customer Reviews:
An excellent anthology which deserves to be better known December 21, 1998
11 out of 12 found this review helpful
This book and its predecessors are pitched at the level of advanced high school students and undergraduates. All problems employ elementary techniques and the solutions are easily followed. Volume III contains a substantial chapter devoted to the best Internationl Mathematical Olympiad problems from the early '80s and chapters on Ramanujan's highly composite numbers, Fibonacci numbers - with much you will find new - and "a problem of Paul Erdoes". The author's tone is amiable and light. There is nothing trite in the collection and no surplus fat. For Martin Gardner fans in search of something a little more highly engineered, Gems II and III will prove to be a sound investment.
