Description for Algebraic Inequalities: New Vistas
Paperback. Series: MSRI Mathematical Circles Library. Num Pages: 126 pages. BIC Classification: PBF; PBK; PBMW. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 254 x 178. .
This book starts with simple arithmetic inequalities and builds to sophisticated inequality results such as the Cauchy-Schwarz and Chebyshev inequalities. Nothing beyond high school algebra is required of the student. The exposition is lean. Most of the learning occurs as the student engages in the problems posed in each chapter. And the learning is not “linear”. The central topic of inequalities is linked to others in mathematics. Often these topics relate to much more than algebraic inequalities.
There are also “secret” pathways through the book. Each chapter has a subtext, a theme which prepares the student for learning other ... Read more

Reviews for Algebraic Inequalities: New Vistas
This slim book moves economically, effectively, and elegantly from basic arithmetic to sophisticated inequality topics...Part of what makes the presentation effective, despite requiring no more than high school algebra, are the detailed solutions for the problem sets...This compact and concentrated work will be a useful service to students and teachers in fundamental mathematics." — Tom Schulte, MAA Reviews
