Olympiad Problem Books
next

Many countries hold an annual mathematical olympiad competition for high school students. These contests are typically the culmination of a series of preliminary examinations. Contests usually consist of about 6 essay questions, requiring the students to write proofs of challenging problems. Although these problems can be quite difficult, they require no advanced mathematics, only a thorough knowledge of high school math topics and the ability to handle non-routine problems. Contestants are typically given an hour or more to solve each problem. Winners of the national olympiad often then represent the country at the prestigious International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO).
