Selected Papers

Other papers which the reader may find interesting are listed below. After

the title is the indication E, M, A often followed by a number. E indicates

that the paper is elementary and accessible to a high school student, M

that it is of moderate difficulty and accessible to an undergraduate, A that

it is advanced for a reader with mathematical maturity and considerable

background. In some cases, the classification is difficult to make and so it

should be regarded only as a first approximation. The number indicates

the chapter in this text for the topic.

Most of the abbreviations for journals are straightforward. North Amer-

ican readers may not be familiar with the British journal, Mathematical

Gazette (Math. Gaz.). Other abbreviations which require some explana-

tion are
