The first inequalities presented in the book, such as the inequalities between the harmonic, geometric, and arithmetic mean, are familiar from analysis, but are given geometric proofs. The second and largest set of inequalities are geometric both in their statements and in their proofs. Toward the end of the book some inequalities are more analytical in their statements as well as their proofs--From publisher description. 000490533 650_0 $$aInequalities (Mathematics) 000490533 650_0 $$aVisualization. 000490533 650_0 $$aGeometrical drawing. 000490533 7001_ $$aNelsen, Roger B. 000490533 852__ $$bebk 000490533 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://site.ebrary.com/lib/usiricelib/Doc?id=10728521$$zOnline Access 000490533 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:490533$$pGLOBAL_SET 000490533 980__ $$aEBOOK 000490533 980__ $$aBIB 000490533 982__ $$aEbook 000490533 983__ $$aOnline
