Now in its third decade, the Colorado Mathematical Olympiad CMO , founded by the author, has become an annual state-wide competition, hosting many hundreds of middle and high school contestants each year.
This book presents a year-by-year history of the CMO from — with all the problems from the competitions and their solutions. This book contains more than just problems, solutions, and event statistics — it tells a compelling story involving the lives of those who have been part of the Olympiad, their reminiscences of the past and successes of the present.
I am almost speechless facing the ingenuity and inventiveness demonstrated in the problems proposed in the third decade of these Olympics. However, equally impressive is the drive and persistence of the originator and living soul of them. It is hard for me to imagine the enthusiasm and commitment needed to work singlehandedly on such an endeavor over several decades. The Olympiad problems were very good, from the beginning, but in the third decade the problems have become extraordinarily good.
Every brace of 5 problems is a work of art. The harder individual problems range in quality from brilliant to work-of-genius Great mathematics and mathematical questions are immersed in a sauce of fascinating anecdote and reminiscence. If you could have only one book to enjoy while stranded on a desert island, this would be a good choice.
Like van der Waerden, he can transform a dispassionate exercise in logic into a compelling account of sudden insights and ultimate triumph. Some of them are still unsolved. Strongly recommended to both serious and recreational mathematicians on all levels of expertise. Olympiad mathematics is not a collection of techniques of solving mathematical problems but a system for advancing mathematical education.
This book is based on the lecture notes of the mathematical Olympiad training courses conducted by the author in Singapore. Its scope and depth not only covers and exceeds the usual syllabus, but introduces a variety concepts and methods in modern mathematics. In each lecture, the concepts, theories and methods are taken as the core. The examples are served to explain and enrich their intension and to indicate their applications.
Besides, appropriate number of test questions is available for reader''s practice and testing purpose. Their detailed solutions are also conveniently provided. The examples are not very complicated so that readers can easily understand. There are many real competition questions included which students can use to verify their abilities. These test questions are from many countries, e. In particular, the reader can find many questions from China, if he is interested in understanding mathematical Olympiad in China.
This book serves as a useful textbook of mathematical Olympiad courses, or as a reference book for related teachers and researchers. Errata s. Sample Chapter s.

The book contains problems from the first 32 British Mathematical Olympiad BMO papers and gives hints and outline solutions to each problem from onwards.
An overview is given of the basic mathematical skills needed, and a list of books for further reading is provided.
Working through the exercises provides a valuable source of extension and enrichment for all pupils and adults interested in mathematics. Skip to content. Introduction to Math Olympiad Problems.
