Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
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.
SIAM is offering an incentive to help reduce the backlog of unsolved problems: every person who submits the first received acceptable solution to any unsolved problem in the book will receive one SIAM book of his or her choice.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 585-588).
