I'd add V. Arnold's books on Differential Equations and Geometry to that list.
Wikipedia summarizes it nicely: "His views on education were particularly anti-Bourbaki." :)
- m31415 7y agoSome problem collections by Arnold: * Problems for Children from 5 to 15: http://jnsilva.ludicum.org/HMR13_14/Arnold_en.pdf http://jnsilva.ludicum.org/HMR13_14/Arnold_en.pdf * A mathematical trivium pt. 1: http://www.physics.montana.edu/avorontsov/teaching/problemoftheweek/documents/Arnold-Trivium-1991.pdf http://www.physics.montana.edu/avorontsov/teaching/problemof... * A mathematical trivium pt. 2: https://www.latroika.com/mathoman/exos/arnold-exos-math-english.pdf https://www.latroika.com/mathoman/exos/arnold-exos-math-engl...
- reactor4 7y agoThank you, Is there an answer key to those?
- m31415 7y agoNot that I know of, but many of the problems have been discussed online, e.g, calculating the average of the 100th power of sin in under 5 minutes [1], which according to Arnold, if you cannot solve, you don't understand mathematics.
