About the Author
Loren Larson was Professor of Mathematics at St. Olaf College from 1963-1996, and Benedict Distinguished Visiting Professor of Mathematics at Carleton College, 1999-2001. He has been active in the MAA as Governor of the North Central Section, and as Associate Director of the William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition. His publications include:" Algebra and Trigonometry Refresher for Calculus Students," "Problem-Solving through Problems," and "The Wohascum County Problem Book,," with George Gilbert and Mark Krusemeyer published by the MAA.
Paul Vaderlind was born in Poland, but has lived in Sweden since 1969. He received his PhD in the field of discrete from Stockholm University and has been teaching there since 1974. His first contact with Problem solving came when he was 10 and got a beautiful puzzle book "The Moscow Puzzles" by Boris Kordemsky (now it is a classic). Problem solving has been his hobby since then. Besides his work at Stockholm University, he has been engaged in mathematical competitions and in the education of gifted youth. He has been the leader of the Swedish team to the International Mathmatical Olympiad.
