This book contains 320 unconventional problems in algebra, arithmetic, elementary number theory, and trigonometry. Most of the problems first appeared in competitive examinations sponsored by the School Mathematical Society of the Moscow State University and the Mathematical Olympiads held in Moscow. Although most of the problems presuppose only high school mathematics, they are not easy; some are of uncommon difficulty and will challenge the ingenuity of any research mathematician. Nevertheless, many are well within the reach of motivated high school students and even advanced seventh and eighth graders.
The problems are grouped into twelve separate sections. Among these are: the divisibility of integers, equations having integer solutions, evaluating sums and products, miscellaneous algebraic problems, the algebra of polynomials, complex numbers, problems of number theory, distinctive inequalities, difference sequences and sums, and more.
Complete solutions to all problems are given; in many cases, alternate solutions are detailed from different points of view. Solutions to more advanced problems are given in considerable detail. Moreover, when advanced concepts are employed, they are discussed in the section preceding the problems. Useful in a variety of ways in high school and college curriculums, this challenging volume will be of particular interest to teachers dealing with gifted and advanced classes.

They are very nice.
I was pleasantly suprized at how they look. They are very pretty. If I bought them in a nice store I'm positive they would have cost me at least double. One of my Granddaughters who is 14 going on 20 recently got her ears pierced. These will be a perfect size for her, with an added touch of class that only a cool Grandma can give.

Beautiful earrings that work fantastically with multiple earlobe piercings
I was looking for smaller cute studs in garnet and these are amazing. I have four “regular” piercings going up my earlobes on each side into my cartilage so I prefer to have stud earrings that are small enough to not overlap and crowd, but also be super cute, and these did really well. Despite the size you could still clearly tell they were butterflies and marquise cut gemstones. Because they’re garnets and the marquise cut is slightly shallow for earring purposes, they’re not that DEEP red color people associate with a garnet, but they’re clearly garnets and the slightly brownish tinge from the shallower cuts actually set off my (dyed) red hair beautifully. If you’re more to chestnut brown or redheaded, it’ll probably work in your favor as well. Overall I would highly recommend these to anyone looking for a good pair of beautiful and playful gemstone earrings, and heavily recommend them for any adult with more than two lobe piercings that wants to do more than just plain gemstone round studs.
