A chapter of the book "The Princeton Companion to Mathematics," edited by Timothy Gowers, is presented. In this chapter, the author discusses the art of mathematical problem solving. The author suggests mathematics students to develop technique for problem solving with continuous practice of mathematical problems. Collections of problems using relatively elementary mathematics, are also presented.

A chapter of the book "The Princeton Companion to Mathematics," edited by Timothy Gowers, is presented. It discusses the application and the influence of mathematics in different scientific research studies including the mechanism behind the adoption of 3D structure by proteins, description of crystal structure and role of mathematics in computational chemistry.

A chapter of the book "The Princeton Companion to Mathematics," edited by Timothy Gowers, is presented. It presents brief profiles of notable ancient mathematicians including Pythagoras from Greece, Archimedes from Italy and Euclid from Alexandria, Egypt and discusses their contributions to mathematics.

A chapter of the book "The Princeton Companion to Mathematics," edited by Timothy Gowers, is presented. It discusses several mathematical theorems including Cauchy's Theorem, Dirichlet's Theorem and Ergodic Theorems. Fixed Point Theorems including Brouwer's Fixed Point Theorem and Infinite-Dimensional Fixed Point Theorem and the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, are discussed.

A chapter of the book "The Princeton Companion to Mathematics " edited by Timothy Gowers, is presented. It discusses the origin of modern mathematics. It states that earliest mathematical documents known date back to the civilizations of the ancient Middle East, in Egypt and in Mesopotamia where a special class of people known as scribes developed. Scribes were responsible for keeping records which involved solving simple arithmetic problems.

The article discusses several topics published in the book "The Princeton Companion to Mathematics" including what is mathematics, algebra versus geometry and number theory.

A chapter of the book "The Princeton Companion to Mathematics," edited by Timothy Gowers, is presented. It discusses classical theory of algebraic numbers and discusses different branches of mathematics including Analytic Number Theory and Computational Number Theory. Current belief about the distribution of prime numbers, is also discussed.
