N2  - Mathematical Explorations follows on from the author's previous book, Creative Mathematics in the same series, and gives the reader experience in working on mathematical problems that require a little more maturity. In this text readers will see how mathematical ideas can be applied in a wide range of situations, and also gain an understanding of how mathematical research is conducted. Although readers do not require a deep mathematical background to tackle these problems, their mathematical understanding will be enriched by attempting to solve them.
