This volume provides a source for the math needed to understand the emergence and evolution of five contemporary problems whose development can be traced through elementary, high school, college, and university level math: the four numbers problem, rational right triangles, lattice point geometry, rational approximation, and dissection. Each chapter begins with the elementary math involved at its source, then discusses the development of the concepts and results in contemporary research. The book is meant for math students and teachers in high school through graduate school, and mathematicians. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Book is clean with a square, tight binding and white pages. Book has minor wear on the edges that is difficult to see in the scans. Certain contemporary mathematical problems are of particular interest to teachers and students because their origin lies in mathematics covered in the elementary school curriculum and their development can be traced through high school, college, and university level mathematics. This book is intended to provide a source for the mathematics (from beginning to advanced) needed to understand the emergence and evolution of five of these problems: The Four Numbers Problem, Rational Right Triangles, Lattice Point Geometry, Rational Approximation, and Dissection. Each chapter begins with the elementary geometry and number theory at the source of the problem, and proceeds (with the exception of the first problem) to a discussion of important results in current research. The introduction to each chapter summarizes the contents of its various sections, as well as the background required. The book is intended for students and teachers of mathematics from high school through graduate school. It should also be of interest to working mathematicians who are curious about mathematical results in fields other than their own. It can be used by teachers at all of the above mentioned levels for the enhancement of standard curriculum materials or extra-curricular projects. We are donsbookstore in Albuquerque New Mexico.
