A study of about 100 challenging problems taken from many areas of elementary mathematics — number theory, combinatorics, geometry, probability, logic. Emphasis is placed on student participation. This course was designed for those planning to go into high school teaching. However, the problems have universal appeal to all who like mathematics. This is a “do” course, and is not recommended for passive students. 2 hours lectures, one term. Prerequisites: No formal prerequisites are demanded. However, the broader and deeper one’s mathematical experience the better. This course focusses on APPLYING one’s knowledge and ingenuity.
