This volume, a part of the Elements of Mathematics Program (EM), provides the student with an experience in developing a mathematical model for a "real-life" situation. After discussing the process of mathematization by reference to geometry, and presenting a flow-chart diagram describing the relationship of mathematical models to real…

This volume, a part of the Elements of Mathematics Program (EM), contains 200 problems which require no special training beyond elementary mathematics, but often careful analysis and some ingenuity. The statements of some problems involve functional notation, but most are stated either in prose or prose accompanied by illustrations. Problems are…
