This book deals with an important  area  in mathematics — Problem Solving — making it an exciting adventure. Having  been associated with the Mathematical Olympiad programme since  its inception in India, Dr Shailesh Shirali has drawn a lot on this experience in  terms of material as well as in terms of the lucid style of writing. In this book, which is addressed to problem buffs, you will find many topics in “serious” and “recreational” mathematics developed through problems (surds, logarithms, geometry, inequalities, magic squares, cryptarithms, logic, counting, number theory, games such as Nim, . . .).
