“The book under review is mainly intended for undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics, as well as for researchers engaged in the interplay among applied analysis, mathematical physics, and numerical analysis.” (Teodora-Liliana Rădulescu, zbMATH 1357.97001, 2017)“This book is the compilation of the problems from those competitions from 2001 to 2015, along with their solutions, an appendix of notation and key results, and an appendix listing the top ranking students. … This books seems most useful as a supplementary resource for a problem solving or Putnam prep group, class, or math club.” (Megan Patnott, MAA Reviews, maa.org, August, 2016)
