Problemi matematici per un anno (bisestile, ce ne sono 366). Ecco cosa trovate in questo libro: tutti i problemi sono tratti dalle gare matematiche per gli studenti britannici delle scuole superiori. D'accordo, io non sono il metro migliore per giudicare la complessità dei problemi: posso però dire che ho risolto a mente buona parte della prima metà dei problemi, e ho cominciato a perdermi solo verso la fine. Possiamo insomma dire che i problemi sono alla portata di chi ama questi giochi, e il prezzo davvero economico secondo me è un plus per l'acquisto del libro!
