"Murray Klamkin was a dedicated problem solver and problem proposer, who left indelible marks on the problemist community. After working in industry and academe in the United States, he spent the last thirty of his eighty four years in Canada. He was famous for his Quickies, problems that have quick and neat solutions. In this book you will find all of the problems that he proposed for Crux Mathematicorum, including all of his Quickies. His problems covered a very wide range of topics, and show a great deal of insight into what is possible in these areas. The problems are arranged into sets according to topic, and the lightly edited solutions are as published in Crux Mathematicorum."--Publisher's description.
