    Dolciani Mathematical Expositions
    Volume: 242001; 220 pp

    A collection of miscellanious gems from elementary mathematics, ranging from the latest International Olympiads all the way back to Euclid. Each one casts light on a striking result or a brilliant device, and any reader with only a modest mathematical background will appreciate the ingenious solutions that are also presented.
