Description
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.
Reviews
A good understanding of high school geometry, and a fondness for solving problems, should be sufficient background for this book. ... students preparing for mathematics competitions, and their faculty coaches, should find this book very valuable."" -Mark Hunacek, MAA Reviews
