Dynamic Mathematics Explorations for Students
(Last Update: 18 April 2025)
"A great discovery solves a great problem, but there is a grain of discovery in the solution of any problem. Your problem may be modest, but if it challenges your curiosity and brings into play your inventive faculties, and if you solve it by your own means, you may experience the tension and enjoy the triumph of discovery"
. - George Polya in How to Solve It (Princeton 1945).
In research mathematics, the answers are not in the back of the book nor are the problems simply variations of preceding, carefully worked examples. In fact, in research mathematics, there is seldom a book at all - no ready-made questions and problems; even those one often has to invent oneself. So please use the problems to stimulate your mind - to ask 'what-if' questions, to specialize, to generalize, to vary, etc. Do not be scared to make conjectures of your own. Experiment and have fun inventing, discovering and proving your own results.
