Mathematics educators agree that problem solving is one of the essential skills <br />
their students should possess, yet few mathematics courses or textbooks are <br />
devoted entirely to developing this skill. Supported by narrative, examples, and <br />
exercises, Ants, Bikes, and Clocks: Problem Solving for Undergraduates is a <br />
readable and enjoyable text designed to strengthen the problem-solving skills of <br />
undergraduate students. The book, which provides hundreds of mathematical <br />
problems, gives special emphasis to problems in context, often called story <br />
problems or modeling problems, that require mathematical formulation as a <br />
preliminary step. Both analytical and computational approaches, as well as the <br />
interplay between them, are included. <br />
