The Essence of Mathematics Through Elementary Problems (Alexandre Borovik, et al)

A series of 270 problems with detailed discussion and solutions make up this book. It is expected that the reader has a solid understanding of algebra from grade school.

More significantly, s/he should be motivated to learn more about mathematics outside of the classroom and be open to discussing difficult issues that reveal the true nature of the subject.

With comments interspersed, it comprises six chapters with progressively more complex content (Mental Skills, Arithmetic, Word Problems, Algebra, Geometry, and Infinity). Teachers of mathematics to students between the ages of 14 and 18 as well as anyone else interested in learning more about how mathematics functions in practice will find the content to be of interest.
