Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Problem solving has always been a fundamental element of mathematics. This innovative book challenges the perception that solving a problem is merely a means to an end. Focusing on problem solving as a subject in its own right, the contributors present a broad range of practical, theoretical, simple, intricate and purely mathematical examples.
MoreLong description:
As a mathematics teacher, you know how hard it can be for your students to understand and solve math problems. The old ways of problem solving don't always work. Even the most innovative teachers need some fresh ideas to make mathematics something students comprehend and enjoy. Problem solving is the main theme of this new, idea-filled handbook. The chapter authors look at the subject in a completely new light, and the result is an enticing, entertaining, and useful resource.
