Mathematical Tapas by Jean-Baptiste Hiriart-Urruty, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

This book contains a collection of exercises (called "tapas") at undergraduate level, mainly from the fields of real analysis, calculus, matrices, convexity, and optimization. Most of the problems presented here are non-standard and some require broad knowledge of different mathematical subjects in order to be solved. The author provides some hints and (partial) answers and also puts these carefully chosen exercises into context, presents information on their origins, and comments on possible extensions. With stars marking the levels of difficulty, these tapas show or prove something interesting, challenge the reader to solve and learn, and may have surprising results. This first volume ofMathematical Tapaswill appeal to mathematicians, motivated undergraduate students from science-based areas, and those generally interested in mathematics. | Mathematical Tapas by Jean-Baptiste Hiriart-Urruty, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
