Features: Discrete geometry has a rich history spanning over 150 years, proposing numerous open problems that even high school students can understand. Some of these problems are exceptionally difficult and are deeply connected to fundamental issues in other areas of mathematics. However, many problems, even some of the older ones, can be solved by clever undergraduate or high school students using ingenious ideas and certain techniques from mathematical olympiads. Research Problems in Discrete Geometry, edited by Leo Moser and written over 25 years, includes over 500 intriguing open problems, many of which do not require extensive preparation to understand. Each chapter is largely self-contained, outlining discrete geometry and introducing the historical details and important related results of each problem. This book serves as a reference for professional mathematicians and graduate students dedicated to mathematical research, who love beautiful mathematical problems and tirelessly strive to solve them. The notable features of this book include: over 500 open problems, some of which have a long history while others are newly proposed and never published before; each chapter is divided into self-contained sections, each accompanied by detailed references; provides numerous research problems for graduate students seeking thesis topics; includes a comprehensive overview of discrete geometry, highlighting the cutting-edge problems and future prospects in the field; over 150 figures; and a preface written by Paul Erd?s for an early version of the book.
