ook Summary of Mathematical Olympiad Challenges

The Second Edition of this popular text includes 400 new beautiful, challenging,

 and instructive problems from algebra, geometry, trigonometry, combinatorics,

 and number theory
Presents historical insights and asides to stimulate further inquiry
Emphasizes creative solutions to open-ended problems
Includes many examples, problems and solutions, presented in a user-friendly 

and accessible style

This signficantly revised and expanded second edition of Mathematical Olympiad 

Challenges is a rich collection of problems put together by two experienced and

 well-known professors and coaches of the U.S. International Mathematical

 Olympiad Team. Hundreds of beautiful, challenging, and instructive problems

 from algebra, geometry, trigonometry, combinatorics, and number theory from

 numerous mathematical competitions and journals have been selected and 

updated. The problems are clustered by topic into self-contained sections with 

solutions provided separately. Historical insights and asides are presented to

 stimulate further inquiry. The emphasis throughout is on creative solutions to

 open-ended problems.

New to the second edition: 

• Completely rewritten discussions precede each of the 30 units, adopting a 
• more user-friendly style with more accessible and inviting examples
• Many new or expanded examples, problems, and solutions
• Additional references and reader suggestions have been incorporated

Featuring enhanced motivation for advanced high school and beginning college 

students, as well as instructors and Olympiad coaches, this text can be used for

 creative problem-solving courses, professional teacher development seminars

 and workshops, self-study, or as a training resource for mathematical 

competitions.
