"Equations are more important to me, because politics is for the present, but an equation is something for eternity." - Albert Einstein. In this original work, Pritsker utilises his masterful ability to convey the excitement and elegance of mathematics to explore equations of all kinds, shapes, and sizes, while discussing their history, charm, and usefulness in solving problems from easy to extremely difficult.
A rewarding work for both the recreational mathematician and the ambitious student. AUTHOR: Kiev native Boris Pritsker worked as a math teacher in a special school for gifted and talented high school students with advanced programs in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus. His teaching experience led to his publication of numerous articles and problems in mathematical magazines in the former Soviet Union, United States, Australia, and Singapore. His other Dover book is Geometrical Kaleidoscope.
