The Inquisitive Problem Solver（ISBN=） 英文原版

　　The Inquisitive Problem Solver is a collection of mathematical
miniatures composed to stimulate and entertain. On a deeper level,
these little puzzles, accessible to a general audience, provide a
setting rich in mathematical themes. One of the larger purposes of
the book is to show how everyday situations can lead an inquisitive
problem solver to profound and far-reaching mathematical
principles. Discussions accompanying the problems reinforce
important techniques in discrete mathematics, and the solutions –
which require verbal arguments – show that proofs and careful
reasoning are at the core of doing mathematics. In addition, anyone
reading this book will learn that asking good questions is just as
important to the progress of mathematics as answering questions.
The book contains more than a dozen open problems for further
research by amateurs or professionals. This treasury of problems
will serve as a resource for anyone seeking to improve their
problem-solving knowledge and know-how.
