A Collection of Problems on Hyperbolas and Special Polygonal Numbers


Book Description

This book contains a reasonable collection of problems on hyperbolas represented by binary quadratic Diophantine equations. From the integer solutions of each of the above equations, the relations among special polygonalnumbers are obtained. The formal prerequisites for the material are minimal. It is hoped that these problems may create an interest in the hearts of researchers and lovers of mathematics who approach it with pure love for its beauty. There is no wonder that binary quadratic Diophantine equations in connection with polygonal numbers are beautiful and tricky enough to keep a mathematician occupied for entire life.










Problem-Solving Strategies


Book Description

A unique collection of competition problems from over twenty major national and international mathematical competitions for high school students. Written for trainers and participants of contests of all levels up to the highest level, this will appeal to high school teachers conducting a mathematics club who need a range of simple to complex problems and to those instructors wishing to pose a "problem of the week", thus bringing a creative atmosphere into the classrooms. Equally, this is a must-have for individuals interested in solving difficult and challenging problems. Each chapter starts with typical examples illustrating the central concepts and is followed by a number of carefully selected problems and their solutions. Most of the solutions are complete, but some merely point to the road leading to the final solution. In addition to being a valuable resource of mathematical problems and solution strategies, this is the most complete training book on the market.
