Combining three books into a single volume, this text comprises
Multicolor Problems, dealing with several of the classical
map-coloring problems; Problems in the Theory of Numbers, an
elementary introduction to algebraic number theory; and Random
Walks, addressing basic problems in probability theory. The book's
primary aim is not so much to impart new information as to teach an
active, creative attitude toward mathematics. The sole
prerequisites are high-school algebra and (for Multicolor Problems)
a familiarity with the methods of mathematical induction. The book
is designed for the reader's active participation. The problems are
carefully integrated into the text and should be solved in order.
Although they are basic, they are by no means elementary. Some
sequences of problems are geared toward the mastery of a new
method, rather than a definitive result, and others are practice
exercises, designed to introduce new concepts. Complete solutions
appear at the end.
