About the Book

The Math Problems Notebook is a collection of nontrivial, unconventional problems requiring deep insight and
imagination reminiscent of those discussed at Sunday Math Circles. These circles have become a place for
disseminating beautiful mathematics at an elementary level for college students who have a common passion for mathematics.

The problems cover many topics, including number theory, algebra, combinatorics, geometry and analysis,
of varying levels of diffi culty. The presentation of each topic begins with simple exercises and follows with more difficult problems, challenging enough even for the experienced problem solver. The easier problems focus on basic methods and tools, while the more advanced problems develop problemsolving
techniques, intuition and promote further research.
