Books in the Problem Books in Mathematics series

What is particularly pleasant is the fact that the authors are quite successful in giving to the reader the feeling behind the demonstrations which are sketched. This really enhances the value of this book and puts it at the level of a particularly interesting reference tool.

A unique collection of competition problems from over twenty major national and international mathematical competitions for high school students.

Providing the necessary materials within a theoretical framework, this volume presents stochastic principles and processes, and related areas. Over 1000 exercises illustrate the concepts discussed, including modern approaches to sample paths and optimal stopping.

A high school background in mathematics is all that is needed to get into this book, and teachers and others interested in mathematics who do not have (or have forgotten) a background in advanced mathematics may find that it is a suitable vehicle for keeping up an independent interest in the subject.
