: While the problems are deep, they are framed so they don't strictly require calculus, though they remain "very challenging" for many undergraduate students.
The book organizes its 100 problems into several distinct mathematical branches:
: Covers the five regular solids and the sphere circumscribing a tetrahedron. 100 great problems of elementary mathematics: t...
