Overview: Presents hundreds of extreme value problems, examples, and solutions primarily through Euclidean geometry.Unified approach to the subject, with emphasis on geometric, algebraic, analytic, and combinat.Questions of maxima and minima have great practical significance, with applications to physics, engineering, and economics; they have also given rise to theoretical advances, notably in calculus and optimization. Indeed, while most texts view the study of extrema within the context of calculus, this carefully constructed problem book takes a uniquely intuitive approach to the subject: i
