In China, many excellent students in mathematics take an active part in various mathematical contests, and each year, the best six senior high school students are selected to form the IMO National Team to compete in the International Mathematical Olympiad. In the past ten years, China's IMO Team has achieved outstanding results — they won first place almost every year.The authors of this book are coaches of the China national team. They are Xiong Bin, Xiao Liang, Yu Hongbing, Yao Yijun, Qu Zhenhua, Li Ting, Ai Yinhua, Wang Bin, Fu Yunhao, He Yijie, Zhang Sihui, Wang Xinmao, Lin Tianqi, Xu Disheng, et al. Those who took part in the translation work are Chen Haoran and Zhao Wei.The materials of this book come from a series of two books (in Chinese) on Forward to IMO: a collection of mathematical Olympiad problems (2021-2022). It is a collection of problems and solutions of the major mathematical competitions in China. It provides a glimpse of how the China national team is selected and formed.
The problems in the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) are not only novel and interesting but also deeply rooted in profound mathematical context. The team at the International Mathematical Olympiad Research Center at East China Normal University has compiled and studied problems from past IMOs, dividing them into four volumes based on the mathematical fields involved: algebra, geometry, number theory, and combinatorics.In the combinatorics volume, the IMO combinatorics problems are organized into six chapters: 'Enumerative Combinatorics Problems,' 'Existence Problems,' 'Extremal Combinatorial Problems,' 'Operation and Logical Reasoning Problems,' 'Combinatorial Geometry Problems,' an...
For over two millennia, the complexities of elementary geometry have challenged learners, burdened by the intricacies of auxiliary graphics and cumbersome calculations. Inspired by Leibniz's query, this book introduces a groundbreaking method: point geometry. By operating directly on points, it integrates the strengths of coordinate, vector, and mass point methods, simplifying operations and problem-solving.Central to this method is the identity approach, which streamlines complex problems into concise equations, unlocking multiple propositions with ease. Through meticulously crafted examples, readers are invited to explore the joy of mathematical thinking.Beyond mathematics, point geometry ...
This book is about a famous Hungarian mathematics competition that was founded in 1894, and thus, the oldest mathematics competition for secondary school students organized on a national scale. This book is based on Volumes III and IV of the Hungarian work by János Surányi, covering the years from 1964 to 1997.Hungary, along with Russia, has a well-deserved reputation for proposing important, instructive, and interesting problems. Here, the reader will find a treasure trove of over 100 of them. The solutions are written carefully, giving all the details, and keeping in mind at all times the overall logical structures of the arguments.An outstanding feature of this book is Part II: Discussi...
This book covers thirty years of the Leningrad Mathematical Olympiad, which was, ostensibly, the very first formally organized, open, official city-level mathematical contest in the world. Founded in 1934 by a group of dedicated Soviet mathematicians, it played an outstanding (and often underappreciated) role in creating the Leningrad (St. Petersburg) school of mathematics of the 20th century.The book begins with the extensive introduction containing two prefaces (one of them written specifically for this edition), a large historical survey of the Leningrad Mathematical Olympiad, a section describing the logistical side of the contest, and a small chapter dedicated to the very first Mathemat...
In China, lots of excellent students who are good at maths take an active part in various maths contests and the best six senior high school students will be selected to form the IMO National Team to compete in the International Mathematical Olympiad. In the past ten years China's IMO Team has achieved outstanding results — they have won the first place almost every year.The author is one of the senior coaches of China's IMO National Team, whose students have won many gold medals many times in IMO.This book is part of the Mathematical Olympiad Series which discusses several aspects related to maths contests, such as algebra, number theory, combinatorics, graph theory and geometry. This book will, in an interesting problem-solving way, explain what probability theory is: its concepts, methods and meanings; particularly, two important concepts — probability and mathematical expectation (briefly expectation) — are emphasized. It consists of 65 problems, appended by 107 exercises and their answers.
'This book is a useful reference for faculty members involved in contest preparation or teaching Euclidean geometry at the college level.'MAA ReviewsThis new volume of the Mathematical Olympiad Series focuses on the topic of geometry. Basic and advanced theorems commonly seen in Mathematical Olympiad are introduced and illustrated with plenty of examples. Special techniques in solving various types of geometrical problems are also introduced, while the authors elaborate extensively on how to acquire an insight and develop strategies in tackling difficult geometrical problems.This book is suitable for any reader with elementary geometrical knowledge at the lower secondary level. Each chapter ...
In China, lots of excellent maths students takes an active part in various maths contests and the best six senior high school students will be selected to form the IMO National Team to compete in the International Mathematical Olympiad. In the past ten years, China's IMO Team has achieved outstanding results — they have won the first place almost every year.The author is one of the senior coaches of China's IMO National Team, he is the headmaster of Shanghai senior high school which is one of the best high schools of China. In the past decade, the students of this school have won the IMO gold medals almost every year.The author attempts to use some common characteristics of sequence and mathematical induction to fundamentally connect Math Olympiad problems to particular branches of mathematics. In doing so, the author hopes to reveal the beauty and joy involved with math exploration and at the same time, attempts to arouse readers' interest of learning math and invigorate their courage to challenge themselves with difficult problems.
