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:
Solving mathematical problems is a favourite pastime of many people, from school students to professional research mathematicians. This book provides a wide variety of problems suitable for teenagers and students which will stimulate interest in mathematical ideas and methods outside the usual school syllabus.
The problems vary in their difficulty, but are all intended to encourage independent investigation, to demonstrate different approaches to problem-solving, and to illustrate some of the famous problems that famous mathematicians have attempted to solve.
For each problem the author has provided hints and a detailed discussion of their solution. Consequently, the book will provide a valuable teaching resource for schools, teacher training, and university mathematics courses.
