2/5

Mathematical Olympiad Challenges is a rich collection of problems put together by two experienced and well-known professors and coaches of the U.

International Mathematical Olympiad Team.

Hundreds of beautiful, challenging, and instructive problems from algebra, geometry, trigonometry, combinatorics, and number theory were selected from numerous mathematical competitions and journals.

An important feature of the work is the comprehensive background material provided with each grouping of problems.

The problems are clustered by topic into self-contained sections with solutions provided separately.

All sections start with an essay discussing basic facts and one or two representative examples.

A list of carefully chosen problems follows and the reader is invited to take them on.

Additionally, historical insights and asides are presented to stimulate further inquiry.

The emphasis throughout is on encouraging readers to move away from routine exercises and memorized algorithms toward creative solutions to open-ended problems.

Aimed at motivated high school and beginning college students and instructors, this work can be used as a text for advanced problem- solving courses, for self-study, or as a resource for teachers and students training for mathematical competitions and for teacher professional development, seminars, and workshops.

I remember the first time I touched this book, i fell so in love with it that it was very hard for me to remember how many other things I had to do during my day. It really illustrated how every problem you solve (or at least try really hard) can be an entire lesson you can use later on.

This is a marvelous book for lovers of mathematical problems. Scattered about are wonderful problems in Geometry, Trig, Algebra and Analysis, Invariants, and Number Theory.

The book, Mathematical Olympiad Challenges", is a delightful book on problem solving written by two of the leaders of the craft. Mathematical problem solving is a skill that can be honed like any other and this book is an ideal tool for the job.
