The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) is an annual international mathematics competition held for pre-collegiate students. It is also the oldest of the international science olympiads, and competition for places is particularly fierce. This book is an amalgamation of the first 8 of 15 booklets originally produced to guide students intending to contend for placement on their country's IMO team.

The material contained in this book provides an introduction to the main mathematical topics covered in the IMO, which are: Combinatorics, Geometry and Number Theory. In addition, there is a special emphasis on how to approach unseen questions in Mathematics, and model the writing of proofs. Full answers are given to all questions.

Though A First Step to Mathematical Olympiad Problems is written from the perspective of a mathematician, it is written in a way that makes it easily comprehensible to adolescents. This book is also a must-read for coaches and instructors of mathematical competitions.

Contents:

  • Jugs and Stamps: How to Solve Problems
  • Combinatorics I
  • Graph Theory
  • Number Theory 1
  • Geometry 1
  • Proof
  • Geometry 2
  • Some IMO Problems

Readership: School students keen to learn more of mathematics and specifically mathematics related to the IMO; coaches and instructors of mathematical competitions.
Key Features:

  • An introduction to the main mathematical topics covered in the IMO
  • Easily comprehensible to students
  • Full solutions provided to all mathematical problems
