Description and Table of Contents
Description
Few mathematical books are worth translating 50 years after original publication. Polya-Szegoe is one! It was published in German in 1924, and its English edition was widely acclaimed when it appeared in 1972. In the past, more of the leading mathematicians proposed and solved problems than today. Their collection of the best in analysis is a heritage of lasting value.
