Little Mathematical Treasures
RMS SERIES ON LITTLE MATHEMATICAL TREASURES
(Published jointly by the Ramanujan Mathematical Society and the Universities Press)
The proposed series is addressed to mathematically mature readers and to bright students in their last two years of school education. It is envisaged that the books will contain expository material not generally included in standard school or college texts. New developments in mathematics will be presented attractively using mathematical tools familiar at the high school and undergraduate levels. There will be problem sets scattered through the texts, which will serve to draw the reader into a closer hands-on study of the subject. Readers will be invited to grapple with the subject, and so experience the creative joy of discovery and contact with beauty.
A thing of beauty is a joy forever....So it is with mathematics. The discoveries of Archimedes, Apollonius and Diophantus have been sources of joy from very ancient times. It is our hope that these books will serve our readers in a similar manner.
Proposals for publication of a book in the series is invited either with a note for writing a book for the series or with a draft of the proposed book. Decision of the Editorial Board will be final.
The RMS series on LMT is jointly published by RMS and Universities Press. The authors are paid a royalty of 10% of the net price of each book. The books are distributed in India and abroad by the Universities Press.
