Problem Solving

This course aims at presenting to students the various techniques used in solving mathematical problems, and the methods of thinking when attacking a new problem. This is done ideally by selecting several problems from various areas of mathematics, giving first a summary of the material and the basic tools pertaining to each of these problems, then asking the students to try to solve these problems as a homework, and finally discussing the solutions in full detail in later class meetings. The problems are usually taken from the fields of inequalities, number theory, and geometry. The course takes into consideration the needs of students who will eventually become schoolteachers, and students who will pursue higher studies and go into research.
