102 Math Brainteasers for High School Students: Arithmetic, Algebra and Geometry Brain Teasers, puzzles, Games and Problems with Solution

by Krzysztof Ciesielski, Jacek Skrzydlewski (Illustrator), Tom eMusic (Editor), Adam Fisher (Translator), Benjamin Torrent (Translator)

Overview

102 Math Brainteasers (Grades 10–12) is a subtle selection of arithmetic, algebra, and geometry problems, which efficiently train the mind in math skills. It will be a helpful and stimulating tool for students attending higher-level science or engineering programs as well as high school students preparing themselves for Mathematical Olympiads or math competitions; similarly, math teachers will naturally recognize its benefits. The problems can equally be used in classrooms or as an extracurricular activity. The book contains a range of problems: Some are relatively simple, while others can be qualified as intermediate or difficult.
It is the author's sincere hope that solving the problems may bring intellectual pleasure not only to high school but also to university students. The fun and games are truly delightful, original, and solving them is even more enjoyable thanks to their lively illustrations.

About the Author

Krzysztof Ciesielski earned his PhD at one of the oldest and most prestigious university in Eastern Europe — the Jagiellonian University in Kraków — where he still works. His mathematical specialty is Topological Dynamical Systems. For nine years he served as Vice Head (responsible for teaching) of the Mathematics Institute of the Jagiellonian University. He works very actively in raising public awareness of the importance of mathematics: He is an author and co-author (mainly with Zdzislaw Pogoda) of some books that became bestsellers in Poland, and for which he earned prestigious awards, including the ‘Steinhaus Prize’ and the ‘Golden Rose Prize’ for the best book for popularizing science in Poland. Since 1987 he has been a member and correspondent of the editorial board of The Mathematical Intelligencer; in 1999–2012 he was an Associate Editor of The European Mathematical Society Newsletter; since 1996 he has been a member of the Editorial Committee of the Polish monthly Delta (its Vice-Chairman since 2003); in 2007 he became a member of the editorial board of the journal Wiadomosci Matematyczne of the Polish Mathematical Society and in 2018, the journal’s Editor-in-Chief. He is also involved in the organization of several mathematical competitions, including the ‘Mathematical Kangaroo’ and the ‘Polish Mathematical Olympiad’ for high school students. K. Ciesielski has been a member of the ‘Kraków Committee of Polish Mathematical Olympiad’ since 1980 (and holds its Chair since 2008). In 2018 he was elected Vice-President of the World Federation of National Mathematics Competitions.
