    Imperfect but well worthwhile: 100 Great Problems of Elementary Mathematics
  

*by D***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2015*

“100 Great Problems of Elementary Mathematics” is translated from “Triumph der Mathematik,” originally published in German. The title describes the book well enough. Its articles describe not only the mathematics behind the solution of each well-known problem, but also the identities of the innovators and the time frame in which each labored.Although no fault of the author or the translator, I do think that some of the notation and also the labeling in its diagrams should be more “au courant:” Some of its diagrams actually use Roman numerals! One annoying thing I found was that in three related sections — 68. (Euler’s Tetrahedron Problem), 69. (The Shortest Distance Between Skew Lines), and 70. (The Sphere Circumscribing a Tetrahedron) — the translator seemed not to know the difference between “area” and “volume.” I also found typos elsewhere in the book. (In other settings a typo might not be serious; in a mathematics book, well …)Despite these slight deficiencies, I consider the book quite worthwhile. In fact, I have worn out five copies in my decades-long acquaintance with it.

    Not a casual read.
  

*by S***T on Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2021*

The objective of the book is great and the problem collection is amazing. I so want to love it. However, it is so much like a text book with very terse steps. Also the author uses some weird symbols which I am not able to read. They are neither greek or latin but look more like fancy drawings. As I am not able to read them I am not able to read the equations in my mind making it a tough read.

    100 problems
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2010*

squeezing 100 problems into less than 400 pages is not an easy task. There seems to be consistent tradeoff for brevity at the expense of readability. But if you are fairly experienced in elementary mathematics, most of the stuff can be followed. The degree of difficulty in following problems covered in this book varies greatly. Some can be appreciated by people with middle/high school math backgrounds. Others are very challenging to me (4th undergrad in engineering with good math background relative to undergrad math students). The big advantage of this book is that it deals with widely applicable, and historically significant, and applied math problems. This is in contrast to the bulk of math problem books out there that just deal with recreational problems (puzzle for example. but math olympic problems are recreational too, since the best high school students have to be able to solve them in around an hour). Look at the table of content and you will see. Highly stimulating.
