Books similar to"Art of Problem Solving"

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding alternative books similar to those offered by Art of Problem Solving (AOPS), particularly in areas like number theory, geometry, calculus, and combinatorics. Participants emphasize the need for clarity in what types of books are being sought, specifically for problem-solving. Recommendations include notable titles such as "Naive Set Theory" by Halmos, "What is Mathematics" by Courant, "Excursions in Number Theory" by Ogilvy, and "Geometry and Imagination" by Hilbert. The conversation also references Terry Tao's blog for additional resources, highlighting the importance of exploring various educational materials to support bright students in mathematics.

Can you share some similar books like AOPS . Alternative of each book is preferred. I am finding other ones cause they are not available here. Thanks!

Can you please "read" the question again?

You need to expand on ”what” you are looking for. I interpret it as wanting books on problem solving.
 
I m sorry for any misunderstanding. I was looking for books similar to them in each aspect like :- Number theory, geometry, calculus, combinatorics. You should visit their website to see their books. Then I think you would find some. https://artofproblemsolving.com/store
 
If you are looking for stuff to teach from, I cannot be of much help. If you are looking for stuff for a bright student to read, there are things in the my previous recommendation that would be of value. Some books suitable for the young that I have enjoyed are
Naive Set Theory by Halmos
What is Mathematics by Courant
Excursions in Number Theory by Ogilvy
Geometry and Imagination by Hilbert
