The Essence of Mathematics Through Elementary Problems (Borovik and Gardiner)

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

The Essence of Mathematics consists of a sequence of 270 problems – with commentary and full solutions. The reader is assumed to have a reasonable grasp of school mathematics. More importantly, s/he should want to understand something of mathematics beyond the classroom, and be willing to engage with (and to reflect upon) challenging problems that highlight the essence of the discipline.
