Solving Mathematical Problems by Terence Tao
Authored by a leading name in mathematics, this engaging and clearly presented text leads the reader through the various tactics involved in solving mathematical problems at the Mathematical Olympiad level. Covering number theory, algebra, analysis, Euclidean geometry, and analytic geometry, Solving Mathematical Problems includes numerous exercises and model solutions throughout. Assuming only a basic level of mathematics, the text is ideal for students of 14 years and above in pure mathematics.
There are a handful of really wonderful books that can introduce a young high-school student to the beauty of mathematicsThis is definitely one of them. Besides, this book is probably going to be known as the first book written by one of the best mathematicians of the twenty-first century. * Mihaela Poplicher, MAA Reviews *
