Mathematical Excursions: Side trips along paths not generally traveled in elementary courses in mathematics
Table of Contents: Introduction I. On Dividing II. Different Ways Of Writing Numbers III. Multiplying Without The Multiplication Table IV. Mostly On Squares
There is little that I need say by way of introduction to this collection of puzzles. They are all strictly "mathematical," though the mathematical knowledge necessary for solving them is, in all but a handful of cases, elementary.
Caliban's Problem Book: Mathematical, Inferential and Cryptographic Puzzles
A small chapter is devoted to logic puzzles and the solutions are included. The authors were two of the leading figures in recreational mathematics in the sixties. Joseph Madachy was the founder of Recreational Mathematics Magazine and the editor of Journal of Recreational Mathematics for nearly thirty years
This is a brilliant book that conveys a beautiful, unified picture of mathematics. It is not an encyclopedic history, it is history for the sake of understanding mathematics. There is an idea behind every topic, every section makes a mathematical point, showing how the mathematical theories of today has grown inevitably from the natural problems studied by the masters of the past.
Problems in Operator Theory (Graduate Studies in Mathematics)
This is one of the few books available in the literature that contains problems devoted entirely to the theory of operators on Banach spaces and Banach lattices. The book contains complete solutions to the more than 600 exercises in the companion volume, An Invitation to Operator Theory, Volume 50 in the AMS series Graduate Studies in Mathematics, also by Abramovich and Aliprantis.
