Maxima and Minima Without Calculus (Dolciani Mathematical Expositions) (Dolciani Mathematical Expositions)
Editorial Reviews
John Abram, The Mathematical Gazette
An endless source of fascinating problems with elegant and easily understandable solutions by the methods given in the text.
Review
'A book superb in its exposition and teeming with a variety of elegant mathematical results... All instructors in calculus courses should keep this book within easy reach and administer generous doses of its contents to students who are seized by a fit of differentiation frenzy when confronted with any kind of extremum problem.' Mathematical Reviews
'As befits a volume in the Dolciani series, the expository style is above reproach: it is particularly impressive that the author manages, without frightening his readers, to be honest about the difference between a proof which assumes the existence of an extremal solution and one which does not. This is a book which deserves to be read very widely.' Times Higher Education Supplement
'... An endless source of fascinating problems which appear at first thought to be elementary, but usually turn out to be unresponsive to normal methods, with elegant and easily understandable solutions by the methods given in the text.' The Mathematical Gazette
