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&#8217;s IMO team.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Source :\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 www.worldscientific.com\/worldscibooks\/10.1142\/7320<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AUTHOR\u00a0 :\u00a0 Holton, Derek Allan, 1941- CALL NO\u00a0 :\u00a0 QA43 H758f 2010 IMPRINT\u00a0 :\u00a0 Singapore : World Scientific, c2010 The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) is an annual international mathematics competition held for pre-collegiate students.&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":468,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"quote","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,4],"tags":[133,134],"class_list":["post-501","post","type-post","status-publish","format-quote","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-magazine-releases","category-new-book-releases","tag-mathematical-olympiad","tag-mathematical-problems","post_format-post-format-quote"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stang.sc.mahidol.ac.th\/newresources\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/501","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stang.sc.mahidol.ac.th\/newresources\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stang.sc.mahidol.ac.th\/newresources\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stang.sc.mahidol.ac.th\/newresources\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stang.sc.mahidol.ac.th\/newresources\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=501"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/stang.sc.mahidol.ac.th\/newresources\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/501\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":502,"href":"https:\/\/stang.sc.mahidol.ac.th\/newresources\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/501\/revisions\/502"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stang.sc.mahidol.ac.th\/newresources\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/468"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stang.sc.mahidol.ac.th\/newresources\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=501"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stang.sc.mahidol.ac.th\/newresources\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=501"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stang.sc.mahidol.ac.th\/newresources\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=501"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
