Book Description
A major aspect of mathematical training and its benefit to society is the ability to use logic to solve problems. The American Mathematics Competitions have been given for more than fifty years to millions of students. This book considers the basic ideas behind the solutions to the majority of these problems, and presents examples and exercises from past exams to illustrate the concepts. Anyone preparing for the Mathematical Olympiads will find many useful ideas here, but people generally interested in logical problem solving should also find the problems and their solutions stimulating. The book can be used either for self-study or as topic-oriented material and samples of problems for practice exams. Useful reading for anyone who enjoys solving mathematical problems, and equally valuable for educators or parents who have children with mathematical interest and ability.

Book Description
BETHANY MACDONALD HAS TRAINED SIX LONG YEARS FOR THIS MOMENT. SHE'LL TRY TO SOLVE FIVE QUESTIONS IN THREE HOURS, FOR ONE IMPROBABLE DREAM. THE DREAM OF REPRESENTING HER COUNTRY, AND BECOMING A MATH OLYMPIAN. As a small-town girl in Nova Scotia bullied for liking numbers more than boys, and lacking the encouragement of her unsupportive single mother who frowns at her daughter's unrealistic ambition, Bethany's road to the International Math Olympiad has been marked by numerous challenges. Through persistence, perseverance, and the support of innovative mentors who inspire her with a love of learning, Bethany confronts these challenges and develops the creativity and confidence to reach her potential. In training to become a world-champion "mathlete", Bethany discovers the heart of mathematics - a subject that's not about memorizing formulas, but rather about problem-solving and detecting patterns to uncover truth, as well as learning how to apply the deep and unexpected connections of mathematics to every aspect of her life, including athletics, spirituality, and environmental sustainability. As Bethany reflects on her long journey and envisions her exciting future, she realizes that she has shattered the misguided stereotype that only boys can excel in math, and discovers a sense of purpose that through mathematics, she can and she will make an extraordinary contribution to society.

Book Description
Mock Exams for Math Olympians (Volume 1) - The Best Tasks from Math Olympiads The present edition aims to achieve in the math Olympians the consolidation of their mathematical skills after successfully solving a group of mock exams containing a variety of carefully selected interesting problems, as well as giving them the confidence to successfully face the exams of any math competition. This educational material will be of great help to all students who participate each year in the main mathematics competitions for elementary and middle school in the United States and abroad; and in a very special way for those who are preparing for the MOEMS contest, whose exams have inspired this edition. Furthermore, the problems included herein are very similar to those proposed in the main elementary and middle school mathematics competitions in the United States such as MOEMS, Math Alpha Contest, Noetic Math Contest, Math Kangaroo in USA, etc. This edition consists of a series of workbooks that bring together a collection of select problems by means of Mock Exams and is aimed at elementary and middle school students. Many of the problems included here have been extracted from Math Olympiads around the world and others have been inspired by them, which will allow the student to prepare by performing simulations of a math competition. Likewise, it has been considered to follow the structure and rules of the exams given in the MOEMS contests (Mathematical Olympiads for Elementary and Middle Schools) due to its great popularity in the United States and abroad. Furthermore, each Mock Exam contains 5 questions in increasing order of difficulty to be answered in a time not exceeding 30 minutes, where each correct answer is worth one point and the incorrect answer zero points. The main topics covered by the questions include: sets of numbers, arithmetic operations, math and logic puzzles, divisibility, prime numbers, GCF - LCM, fractions, statistics and probability, geometry in the plane and solids. The exams included in each volume have been divided into two categories, namely, elementary school and middle school, each of them with a total of ten Mock Exams. In this first volume the exams from 1 to 10 are included. The students may only have: pencil, eraser and sharpener. Blank sheets will not be required as the workbook has been designed so that the students can solve each question in the same workbook. No calculators, rulers, graph paper, or any other aid can be used. In addition, the students will find the answers to each question at the end of the book, so that they can verify their results obtained. Finally, the indispensable support of parents or an academic tutor is recommended so that they can guide the student in case of doubts, and the evaluation is carried out with the greatest objectivity and responsibility possible.

Book Description
This updated printing of the first edition of Colorado Mathematical Olympiad: the First Twenty Years and Further Explorations gives the interesting history of the competition as well as an outline of all the problems and solutions that have been created for the contest over the years. Many of the essay problems were inspired by Russian mathematical folklore and written to suit the young audience; for example, the 1989 Sugar problem was written in a pleasant Lewis Carroll-like story. Some other entertaining problems involve olde Victorian map colourings, King Authur and the knights of the round table, rooks in space, Santa Claus and his elves painting planes, football for 23, and even the Colorado Springs subway system.

Book Description
Each summer six math whizzes selected from nearly a half-million American teens compete against the world's best problem solvers at the International Mathematical Olympiad.Steve Olson followed the six 2001 contestants from the intense tryouts to the Olympiad's nail-biting final rounds to discover not only what drives these extraordinary kids but what makes them both unique and typical.In the process he provides fascinating insights into the science of intelligence and learning and, finally, the nature of genius.Brilliant, but defying all the math-nerd stereotypes, these teens want to excel in whatever piques their curiosity, and they are curious about almost everything - music, games, politics, sports, literature.One team member is ardent about both water polo and creative writing. Another plays four musical instruments.For fun and entertainment during breaks, the Olympians invent games of mind-boggling difficulty.Though driven by the glory of winning this ultimate math contest, they are in many ways not so different from other teenagers, finding pure joy in indulging their personal passions. Beyond the the Olympiad, Olson sheds light on many questions, from why Americans feel so queasy about math, to why so few girls compete in the subject, to whether or not talent is innate.Inside the cavernous gym where the competition takes place, Count Down uncovers a fascinating subculture and its engaging, driven inhabitants.
