Jim's Review
🐛
If you think math is just about following formulas, this book will reprogram your brain. Rusczyk and Lehoczky don't just teach you math — they teach you how to THINK like a mathematician. Every problem is a puzzle, and the solutions are genuinely creative. Jim wishes he'd found this before college. It's aimed at competition students, but honestly, anyone who wants to level up their mathematical thinking should dig in. Four worms — a hidden gem.
