Essays on Numbers and Figures (Mathematical World)

This is the English translation of the book originally published in Russian. It contains 20 essays, each dealing with a separate mathematical topic. The topics range from brilliant mathematical statements with interesting proofs, to simple and effective methods of problem-solving, to interesting properties of polynomials, to exceptional points of the triangle.
The essays are independent of one another for the most part, and each presents a vivid mathematical result that led to current research in number theory, geometry, polynomial algebra, or topology.

A worthwhile resource for mathematics departments to have on hand ... this collection serves as a nice resource for accessible topics beyond the standard curriculum around the level of calculus.
