Problem-Solving Through Problems by Loren C. Larson - Springer-Verlag

This is a practical anthology of some of the best elementary problems in different branches of mathematics. They are selected for their intrinsic appeal as well as their instructional value, and are organized to highlight the most common problem-solving techniques encountered in undergraduate mathematics. Readers learn general heuristics and broad strategies for coping with a wide experience of solving problems, while taking full specific lessons on their own. This material is classroom tested and has been found particularly helpful for students preparing for the Putnam exam. For easy reference, the problems are arranged by subject. This edition is in good condition, suitable for students and educators.
