| Summary |
"This Invitation to mathematics consists of 14 contributions, many by the world's leading mathematicians, which introduce the readers to exciting aspects of current mathematical research. They are written for interested students who know high school mathematics and perhaps competition mathematics and who want to find out what research mathematics is about -- as well as for teachers, advanced students and professional mathematicians who would like to learn about exciting aspects of mathematics outside of their own work or specialization."--Back cover |
