Problem Arithmetic

This new and expanded edition is intended to help candidates prepare for entrance examinations in mathematics and scientific subjects, including STEP (Sixth Term Examination Paper). STEP is an examination used by Cambridge Colleges for conditional offers in mathematics. They are also used by some other UK universities and many mathematics departments recommend that their applicants practice on the past papers even if they do not take the examination. Advanced Problems in Mathematics bridges the gap between school and university mathematics, and prepares students for an undergraduate mathematics course. The questions analysed in this book are all based on past STEP questions and each question is followed by a comment and a full solution. The comments direct the reader's attention to key points and put the question in its true mathematical context. The solutions point students to the methodology required to address advanced mathematical problems critically and independently. This book is a must read for any student wishing to apply to scientific subjects at university level and for anyone interested in advanced mathematics.

This anxiety-quelling guide helps you get ready for those daunting word problems, one step at a time. With fully explained examples, it shows you how easy it can be to translate word problems into solvable math problems.

This book presents methods of solving problems in three areas of elementary combinatorial mathematics: classical combinatorics, combinatorial arithmetic, and combinatorial geometry. Brief theoretical discussions are immediately followed by carefully worked-out examples of increasing degrees of difficulty and by exercises that range from routine to rather challenging. The book features approximately 310 examples and 650 exercises.

Over 300 unusual problems, ranging from easy to difficult, involving equations and inequalities, Diophantine equations, number theory, quadratic equations, logarithms, more. Detailed solutions, as well as brief answers, for all problems are provided.

Republished version of the Ray's Arithmetic from the late 1870's and early 1880's. Includes the following books: (some in hardback and some in paperback) Primary Arithmetic, Intellectual Arithmetic, Practical Arithmetic, Key to the Primary/Intellectual/Practical, Test Examples in Arithmetic, Higher Arithmetic, Key to Higher Arithmetic, Parent Teacher Guide (by Ruth Beechick).

This book studies the problem of the decomposition of a given random variable introduction a sum of independent random variables (components). The central feature of the book is Feldman's use of powerful analytical techniques.

Here is an unsurpassed resource-important accounts of a variety of dynamic systems topicsrelated to number theory. Twelve distinguished mathematicians present a rare complete analyticsolution of a geodesic quantum problem on a negatively curved surface ... and explicitdetermination of modular function growth near a real point .. . applications of number theoryto dynamical systems and applications of mathematical physics to number theory . ..tributes to the often-unheralded pioneers in the field ... an examination of completely integrableand exactly solvable physical models .. . and much more!Classical and Quantum Models and Arithmetic Problems is certainly a major source of information,advancing the studies of number theorists, algebraists, and mathematical physicistsinterested in complex mathematical properties of quantum field theory, statistical mechanics,and dynamic systems. Moreover, the volume is a superior source of supplementary readingfor graduate-level courses in dynamic systems and application of number theory .
