Just launched! A problem book for bright high school and college students. Written by Gaurav Bhatnagar, Ojas Kumar and Sagar Shrivastava. Published by Hem Aunty Publications.
Ojas Kumar (CMI, Ashoka University), Sagar Shrivastava (TIFR, Iowa State University) and I made a course: Twenty Problem Sets to learn Elementary Number Theory from Hardy and Wright. This was targeted at the high school students in LGP and first year math students. This much of elementary number theory is what everyone who is in mathematics should know. You can learn it in about an hour a day in less than a month.
Here is what Amritanshu Prasad, Professor of Mathematics, and Director, Institute of Mathematical Sciences (IMSc), Chennai, says:
“Like music, mathematics is an art. As with any art, skill in mathematics is developed by doing mathematics, not by reading about it. This book gives you the rare opportunity to learn number theory and appreciate its beauty by doing it.”
The second blurb is by C. S. Rajan, Professor, Ashoka University, Sonipat;
Formerly Professor, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai
“If at all there is a royal road to learn mathematics it is problem solving. This book of problems in number theory starts from basic school level mathematics to advanced undergraduate level mathematics. It is suitable for self-study. I found the students in my introductory Algebra class who had done the course well equipped to handle the higher level abstraction and doing better than the rest.”
This book is dedicated to Professor Ajit Iqbal Singh. The inscription in the book says:
Dedicated to Ajit Iqbal Singh with many thanks for passing on her infectious enthusiasm and love for mathematics.
