Rezensionen

"Competitions for Young Mathematicians is a collection of 14 essays loosely organized into eight broad categories. ... I would recommend this book for persons with an interest in problem solving and as a great source of problems for advanced students." (Richard J. Wilders, MAA Reviews, November, 2017)
