| Abstract | In this column we review the following books. Erd˝ os has posed an incredible number of tantalizing problems in fields ranging from number theory to geometry to combinatorics. This is a comprehensive collection of his problems. This book traces the development and presentation of five mathematical problems from the early grades of elementary school to, in some cases, upper graduate level mathematics. 3. Chromatic Graph Theory by Gary Chartrand and Ping Zhang. Review by Vance Faber. This book is survey of Graph Theory from the point of view of colorings. Since coloring graphs has been one of the motivating forces behind the development of graph theory, it is natural that coloring can be used as a consistent theme for an entire textbook. book but, as the title says, has more applications than most. It is also longer than most. 5. Combinatorics, A Guided Tour by David R. Mazur. Review by Michaël Cadilhac. This is an undergraduate text in combinatorics; however, as the title suggests, it's good for self-study as well. 6. Famous Puzzles of Great Mathematicians by Miodrag S. Petkovi. ¸ Review by Lev Reyzin. This book contains a nice collection of recreational mathematics problems and puzzles , problems whose solutions do not rely on knowledge of advanced mathematics. These problems mostly originated from great mathematicians, or had at least captured their interest, and hence the title of the book. 7. Combinatorics – A Problem Oriented Approach by Daniel A. Marcus. Review by Myriam Abramson. This book is a collection of problems laid out in such a way to be good for self-study— for a very motivated student. 8. Probability: Theory and Examples by Rick Durrett. Review by Miklós Bóna. This is the fourth edition of a classic text on probability. This is a serious text meant for advanced study. a game and a position in a game we want to determine which player will win. How hard is this problem? This book gives a framework to prove many results on the complexity of games. Paul Erd˝ os has posed an incredible number of tantalizing problems in fields ranging from number theory to geometry to combinatorics. Erd˝ os' problems have helped to shape mathematical research, but there seems to be no comprehensive collection of his problems. Erd˝ os on Graphs is an effort by Fan Chung and Ron Graham to collect some of his problems — those about graphs — … |
