Book DetailsSpectrumVolume: 14; 1995; 227 pp
This book contains 500 problems that range over a wide spectrum of areas of high school mathematics and levels of difficulty. Some are simple mathematical puzzlers while others are serious problems at the Olympiad level. Students of all levels of interest and ability will be entertained and taught by the book. For many problems, more than one solution is supplied so that students can see how different approaches can be taken to a problem and compare the elegance and efficiency of different tools that might be applied.

The book is an excellent source of problems for high school or college teachers who wish to challenge mathematically oriented students. The problems cover a wide range of topics, including geometry, algebra, number theory, trigonometry, probability and combinatorics ... I recommend this book highly for mathematics teachers as a source of nontrivial precalculus problems.
