In teaching his readers a variety of problem solving techniques as well, the author succeeds in enhancing the readers' hands-on knowledge of mathematics and provides glimpses into the world of research and discovery. The connections between different techniques and areas of mathematics are emphasized throughout and constitute one of the most important lessons this book attempts to impart. This book is interesting and accessible to anyone with a basic knowledge of high school mathematics and a curiosity about research mathematics."--Jacke aMathematics aAlgebra aCombinatorial analysis. aAnalyse combinatoire. a31.00 mathematics: general. aTalteori. aNumber theory. aIosevich, Alex
