Mathematical Vistas: From a Room with Many Windows

The goal of mathematical vistas is to stimulate the interest of bright people in mathematics. The book consists of nine related mathematical essays which will intrigue and inform the curious reader. In order to offer a broad spectrum of exciting developments in mathematics, topics are treated at different levels of depth and thoroughness. Some chapters can be understood completely with little background, others can be thought of as appetisers for further study. A number of breaks are included in each chapter. These are problems designed to test the reader's understanding of the material thus far in the chapter.
