My goal is to master inequalities so that I can have a deep understanding of a book like the Cauchy -Schwartz Master Class by Steele. Right now, that book is too difficult for me. I want to work upto that level and have good intuition about inequalities. Are there any good books where I can hone my skills ?
 
To be honest, I'm quite surprised this thread hasn't gotten any responses at all. It's not like it's asking for a book on a specialised topic like, say, Applications of Jensen's Inequality. It's just asking for a general book to begin inequalities and get a firm grip on them. I thought it would be full of posts.

I found a book called Introduction To Inequalities by AJ Lohwater. I don't know what kind of reputation it has, but it seems pretty easy to follow.

If it helps, I want to improve my problem solving skills and a book like Cauchy Shwarz master class would be absolutely great. It's just that it's beyond me at the moment and I need to do some work to get up there.
