Elementary Math Problems
From time to time I will post an elementary mathematics problem which I hope readers may enjoy. "Elementary" to me means that the problem does not require any specialized mathematical knowledge beyond high-school mathematics to solve. Some of these elementary problems will be very simple, others will require a great deal of cleverness. Elementary math problems will be denoted by the letter E followed by the problem number.
I will sometimes post a link to a solution. If I haven't yet posted a link, you may send me your answer and if it is correct I will credit you on the blog. To send answers, please mailto: peterash3@gmail.com.
Thanks,
Peter

Advanced Math Problems
From time to time post problems that are somewhat more advanced than those in the Elementary Math Problems. These problems will require a knowledge of some college-level mathematics, either for their statement or for the solution that I know. Advanced math problems will be denoted by the letter A followed by the problem number.
I will sometimes post a link to a solution. If I haven't yet posted a link, you may send me your answer and if it is correct I will credit you on the blog. To send answers, please mailto: peterash3@gmail.com.
