Description: "The purpose of this book is to publicize the material and aid in the preparation for the examination during the undergraduate years since (a) students are already deeply involved with the material and (b) they will be prepared to take the exam within the first month of the graduate program rather than in the middle or end of the first year. The book is a compilation of more than one thousand problems that have appeared on the preliminary exams in Berkeley over the last twenty-five years.

It is an invaluable source of problems and solutions for every mathematics student who plans to enter a Ph.D. program. Students who work through this book will develop problem-solving skills in areas such as real analysis, multivariable calculus, differential equations, metric spaces, complex analysis, algebra, and linear algebra."--BOOK JACKET.
