Advanced Problems in Mathematics

Stephen Siklos

This book has two aims.  The general aim is to help bridge the gap between school and university mathematics. You might wonder why such a gap exists. The reason is that mathematics is taught at school for various purposes: to improve numeracy; to hone problem-solving skills; as a service for students going on to study subjects that require some mathematical skills (economics, biology, engineering, chemistry—the list is long); and, finally, to provide a foundation for the small number of students who will continue to a specialist mathematics degree. It is a very rare school that can achieve all this, and almost inevitably the course is least successful for its smallest constituency, the real mathematicians.  The more specific aim is to help you to prepare for STEP or other examinations required for uni- versity entrance in mathematics. To find out more about STEP, read the next section

The Essence of Mathematics : Through Elementary Problems

Alexandre Borovik, Tony Gardiner

Interested students of mathematics, who seek insight into the \essence of the discipline", and who read more widely with a view to discovering what the subject is really about, may emerge with the justifiable impression of serious mathematics as an austere, but distant mountain range { accessible only to those who devote their lives to its exploration. And they may conclude that the beginner can only appreciate its rough outline through a haze of unbridgeable distance. The best popularisers sometimes manage to convey more than this { including hints of the human story behind recent developments, and the way different branches and results interact in unexpected ways; but the essence of mathematics still tends to remain elusive, and the picture they paint is inevitably a broad brush substitute for the detail of living mathematics. This collection takes a different approach. We start out by observing that mathematics is not a fixed entity { as one might unconsciously infer from the metaphor of an \austere mountain range". Mathematics is a mental universe, a work-in-progress in our collective imagination, which grows dramatically over time, and whose eventual extent would seem to be unconstrained { without any obvious limits. This boundlessness also works in reverse, when applied to small details: features which we thought we had understood are repeatedly _controlled in, or reinterpreted, in new ways to reveal _finer and _finer micro-structures.
