Inside PFTB (Proofs from The Book) is indeed a glimpse of mathematical heaven, where clever insights and beautiful ideas combine in astonishing and glorious ways. There is vast wealth within its pages, one gem after another
Proofs From the Book - Free download as PDF File (.pdf), Text File (.txt) or read online for free. The document summarizes six proofs that the set of prime numbers is infinite. The proofs use ideas from number theory, group theory, calculus, and properties of special number sequences like Mersenne numbers and Fermat numbers. They all rely on the fact that natural numbers grow without bound ...
This revised and enlarged sixth edition of Proofs from THE BOOK features an entirely new chapter on Van der Waerden’s permanent conjecture, as well as additional, highly original and delightful proofs in other chapters.From the citation on the occasion of the 2018 "Steele Prize for Mathematical Exposition" “… It is almost impossible to write a mathematics book that can be ...
\* Revised and enlarged form \* Includes five new chapters \* Presents further improvements and surprises This revised and enlarged fourth edition of "Proofs from THE BOOK" features five new chapters, which treat classical results such as the "Fundamental Theorem of Algebra," problems about tilings, but also quite recent proofs, for example of the Kneser conjecture in graph theory.

Bookas possible. Proofs from THE BOOK is an effort by Martin Aigner and Günter Ziegler to re-veal an approximation to a portion of The Book. (Let us denote by PFTB the book by Aigner and Ziegler, so as not to confuse The Bookwith “the book”.) They had hoped to publish PFTB on the occasion of Erdo˝s’s eighty-fifth birthday in March 1998,
A collection of elegant and original proofs for various theorems in number theory, geometry, analysis, combinatorics and graph theory. The book is based on the work of Paul Erdös and the authors, and features illustrations and reviews.
A collection of elegant proofs of various mathematical theorems, selected by Aigner and Ziegler in collaboration with Erdos. The book covers number theory, geometry, analysis, combinatorics and graph theory, with references and illustrations.
A collection of elegant and original proofs of various theorems in number theory, geometry, analysis, combinatorics, and graph theory. The book is based on the work of Paul Erdös and has been translated into 13 languages and praised by the Steele Prize committee.

The (mathematical) heroes of this book are "perfect proofs": brilliant ideas, clever connections and wonderful observations that bring new insight and surprising perspectives on basic and challenging problems from Number Theory, Geometry, Analysis, Combinatorics, and Graph Theory. Thirty beautiful examples are presented here. They are candidates for The Book in which God records the perfect ...
