Mathematical Inequalities Volume 1

This is Volume 1 of the five-volume book Mathematical Inequalities, that introduces and develops the main types of elementary inequalities. The first three volumes are a great opportunity to look into many old and new inequalities, as well as elementary procedures for solving them: Volume 1 - Symmetric Polynomial Inequalities, Volume 2 - Symmetric Rational and Nonrational Inequalities, Volume 3 - Cyclic and Noncyclic Inequalities. As a rule, the inequalities in these volumes are increasingly ordered according to the number of variables: two, three, four, ..., n-variables. The last two volumes (Volume 4 ¿ Extensions and Refinements of Jensen¿s Inequality, Volume 5 ¿ Other Recent Methods for Creating and Solving Inequalities) present beautiful and original methods for solving inequalities, such as Half/Partial convex function method, Equal variables method, Arithmetic compensation method, Highest coefficient cancellation method, pqr method etc. The book is intended for a wide audience: advanced middle school students, high school students, college and university students, and teachers. Many problems and methods can be used as group projects for advanced high school students.
