This second edition of Mathematical Olympiad Treasures contains a stimulatingcollection of problems in geometry and trigonometry, algebra, number theory, and combinatorics. It encourages readers to think creatively about techniques and strategies for solving real-world problems, with new sections, revisions, and many more Olympiad-like problems at various levels of difficulty. The problems are clustered by topic into three self-contained chapters. The book begins with elementary facts, followed by carefully selected problems and detailed,step-by-step solutions, which then lead to more complicated, challenging problems and their solutions. Reflecting the vast experience of two professors andMathematical Olympiad coaches, the text will be invaluable to teachers, students, and puzzle enthusiasts. The advanced reader is challenged to find alternative solutions and extensions of the proposed problems. Second edition includes new sections, revisions, and many more Olympiad-like problems at various levels of difficulty. Aims at building a bridge between ordinary high school exercises and more sophisticated, intricate and abstract concepts and problems in undergraduate mathematics. Contains a stimulating collection of problems in the subjects of algebra, geometry and trigonometry, number theory and combinatorics. Should benefit undergraduate students, advanced high school students, instructors, and coaches. Encourages readers to think creatively about techniquesand strategies for solving real-world problems. INDICE: I Problems. 1 Algebra. 2 Geometry and Trigonometry. 3 Number Theory and Combinatorics. II Solutions. 4 Algebra. 5 Geometry and Trigonometry. 6 Number Theory and Combinatorics.
