Book Description
People in all walks of life--and perhaps mathematicians especially--delight in working on problems for the sheer pleasure of meeting a challenge. The problem section of SIAM Review has always provided such a challenge for mathematicians. The section was started to offer classroom instructors and their students as well as other interested problemists, a set of problems--solved or unsolved--illustrating various applications of mathematics. In many cases the unsolved problems were eventually solved. Problems in Applied Mathematics is a compilation of 380 of SIAM Review's most interesting problems dating back to the journal's inception in 1959.
The problems are classified into 22 broad categories including Series, Special Functions, Integrals, Polynomials, Probability, Combinatorics, Matrices and Determinants, Optimization, Inequalities, Ordinary Differential Equations, Boundary Value Problems, Asymptotics and Approximations, Mechanics, Graph Theory, and Geometry.
Murray S. Klamkin
Murray Seymour Klamkin was an American mathematician, known as a prolific presenter and editor of professionally difficult mathematical problems.
Klamkin was born on March 5, 1921 in Brooklyn, New York. He earned a bachelor's degree from the Cooper Union in 1942, and after four years of service in the United States Army, he earned a master's degree from Brooklyn Polytechnic in 1947, where he taught from 1948 until 1957.
Subsequently, Klamkin worked at AVCO, taught at the State University of New York at Buffalo (1962-1964), and worked as a principal research scientist at Ford Motor Company (1965-1976). During this period, he was also a visiting professor at the University of Minnesota. After leaving Ford, he became a professor at the University of Waterloo. From 1976 to 1981 Klamkin was chair of the Department of Mathematics at the University of Alberta.
After 1981 he became Professor Emeritus in Alberta. Klamkin died on August 6, 2004
