Download or read book Euclidean Geometry in Mathematical Olympiads written by Evan Chen and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2021-08-23 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a challenging problem-solving book in Euclidean geometry, assuming nothing of the reader other than a good deal of courage. Topics covered included cyclic quadrilaterals, power of a point, homothety, triangle centers; along the way the reader will meet such classical gems as the nine-point circle, the Simson line, the symmedian and the mixtilinear incircle, as well as the theorems of Euler, Ceva, Menelaus, and Pascal. Another part is dedicated to the use of complex numbers and barycentric coordinates, granting the reader both a traditional and computational viewpoint of the material. The final part consists of some more advanced topics, such as inversion in the plane, the cross ratio and projective transformations, and the theory of the complete quadrilateral. The exposition is friendly and relaxed, and accompanied by over 300 beautifully drawn figures. The emphasis of this book is placed squarely on the problems. Each chapter contains carefully chosen worked examples, which explain not only the solutions to the problems but also describe in close detail how one would invent the solution to begin with. The text contains a selection of 300 practice problems of varying difficulty from contests around the world, with extensive hints and selected solutions. This book is especially suitable for students preparing for national or international mathematical olympiads or for teachers looking for a text for an honor class.
Download or read book Math Out Loud An Oral Olympiad Handbook written by Steven Klee and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Math Hour Olympiads is a non-standard method of training middle- and high-school students interested in mathematics where students spend several hours thinking about a few difficult and unusual problems. When a student solves a problem, the solution is presented orally to a pair of friendly judges. Discussing the solutions with the judges creates a personal and engaging mathematical experience for the students and introduces them to the true nature of mathematical proof and problem solving. This book recounts the authors' experiences from the first ten years of running a Math Hour Olympiad at the University of Washington in Seattle. The major part of the book is devoted to problem sets and detailed solutions, complemented by a practical guide for anyone who would like to organize an oral olympiad for students in their community. In the interest of fostering a greater awareness and appreciation of mathematics and its connections to other disciplines and everyday life, MSRI and the AMS are publishing books in the Mathematical Circles Library series as a service to young people, their parents and teachers, and the mathematics profession.

Download or read book First Steps for Math Olympians written by J. Douglas Faires and published by MAA. This book was released on 2006-12-21 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Mathematical Olympiad Challenges written by Titu Andreescu and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 were selected from numerous mathematical competitions and journals. An important feature of the work is the comprehensive background material provided with each grouping of problems. The problems are clustered by topic into self-contained sections with solutions provided separately. All sections start with an essay discussing basic facts and one or two representative examples. A list of carefully chosen problems follows and the reader is invited to take them on. Additionally, historical insights and asides are presented to stimulate further inquiry. The emphasis throughout is on encouraging readers to move away from routine exercises and memorized algorithms toward creative solutions to open-ended problems. Aimed at motivated high school and beginning college students and instructors, this work can be used as a text for advanced problem- solving courses, for self-study, or as a resource for teachers and students training for mathematical competitions and for teacher professional development, seminars, and workshops.

Download or read book Mathematical Olympiads for Elementary School 4 Fourth Grade written by Michael C. G. and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-28 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mathematical Olympiads for Elementary School are open mathematical Olympiads for students from 1st to 4th grade of elementary school, and they have been held every year in the city of Moscow since 1996, their first editions taking place in the facilities of the Moscow State University - Maly Mekhmat. Although initially these Olympiads were conceived for students of a study circle of elementary school, then it was extended to students in general since 2005. Being the Technological University of Russia - MIREA its main headquarters today. Likewise, these Olympiads consist of two rounds, a qualifying round and a final round, both consisting of a written exam. The problems included in this book correspond to the final round of these Olympiads, for the 4th grade of elementary school. In this workbook has been compiled all the Olympiads held during the years 2011-2020 and is especially aimed at schoolchildren between 9 and 10 years old, with the aim that any student interested in mathematics either in preparing for a competition or in simply practicing entertaining problems to improve his math skills, challenging himself to solve these interesting problems (recommended even to elementary school children in upper grades with little or no experience in Math Olympiads and who require comprehensive preparation before a competition); or it could even be used for a self-evaluation in this competition, trying the student to solve the greatest number of problems in each exam in a maximum time of 2 hours. It can also be useful for teachers, parents, and study circles in mathematics. The book has been carefully crafted so that the student can work on the same book without the need for additional sheets. What will allow the student to have an orderly record of the problems already solved. Each exam includes a set of 8 problems from different school math topics. To be able to face these problems successfully, no greater knowledge is required than that covered in the school curriculum; however, many of these problems require an ingenious approach to be tackled successfully. Students are encouraged to keep trying to solve each problem as a personal challenge, as many times as necessary; and to parents who continue to support their children in their disciplined preparation. Once an answer is obtained, you can check it against the answers given at the end of the book.
