There are countless applications that would be considered problem solving in mathematics and beyond. One could even argue that most of mathematics in one way or another involves solving problems. However, this series is intended to be of interest to the general audience with the sole purpose of demonstrating the power and beauty of mathematics through clever problem-solving experiences.

Each of the books will be aimed at the general audience, which implies that the writing level will be such that it will not engulfed in technical language rather the language will be simple everyday language so that the focus can remain on the content and not be distracted by unnecessarily sophiscated language. Again, the primary purpose of this series is to approach the topic of mathematics problem-solving in a most appealing and attractive way in order to win more of the general public to appreciate his most important subject rather than to fear it. At the same time we expect that professionals in the scientific community will also find these books attractive, as they will provide many entertaining surprises for the unsuspecting read er.
