Features: Many people mistakenly think that "Ghimidovich's Collection of Problems in Mathematical Analysis" is very difficult. In fact, it is a comprehensive set of problems covering various difficulty levels. Some problems can be solved by undergraduates, while a few are so challenging that even PhD students might not be able to solve them. Therefore, it is not difficult to get started with this set, but to "master it entirely" requires a considerable level of proficiency. Since the founding of the country, this collection of problems has been an important supplementary book for mathematics majors. It is particularly revered by the University of Science and Technology of China, where every new student is given a copy (without solutions) and required to "complete all the problems." The saying "Rich Peking University, poor Tsinghua University, and those who risk their lives for USTC" is also related to this, and the misconception about its extreme difficulty has spread like wildfire.
