This book aims to give students a chance to begin exploring some introductory to intermediate topics in combinatorics, a fascinating and accessible branch of mathematics centered around (among other things) counting various objects and sets. We include chapters featuring tools for solving counting problems, proof techniques, and more to give students a broad foundation to build on. The only prerequisites are a solid background in arithmetic, some basic algebra, and a love for learning math.

"102 Combinatorial Problems" consists of carefully selected problems that have been used in the training and testing of the USA International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) team. Key features: * Provides in-depth enrichment in the important areas of combinatorics by reorganizing and enhancing problem-solving tactics and strategies * Topics include: combinatorial arguments and identities, generating functions, graph theory, recursive relations, sums and products, probability, number theory, polynomials, theory of equations, complex numbers in geometry, algorithmic proofs, combinatorial and advanced geometry, functional equations and classical inequalities The book is systematically organized, gradually building combinatorial skills and techniques and broadening the student's view of mathematics. Aside from its practical use in training teachers and students engaged in mathematical competitions, it is a source of enrichment that is bound to stimulate interest in a variety of mathematical areas that are tangential to combinatorics.

For the curious reader looking to sharpen their arsenal of mathematical strategies on the Olympiad level, 113 Geometric Inequalities from the AwesomeMath Summer Program is a valuable addition. This problem-solving methodology prompts key ideas in other domains such as calculus or complex numbers as the solutions are usually nonstandard in a geometric sense. Nevertheless, trying your hand at these types of inequalities consolidates your mathematical reasoning while exposing you to a broad range of problems, all teeming with insightful inequality-type solutions.

Release: 2013
Genre: Geometry
ISBN: 9780979926945

This book contains 106 geometry problems used in the AwesomeMath Summer Program to train and test top middle and high-school students from the U.S. and around the world. Just as the camp offers both introductory and advanced courses, this book also builds up the material gradually. The authors begin with a theoretical chapter where they familiarize the reader with basic facts and problem-solving techniques. Then they proceed to the main part of the work, the problem sections. The problems are a carefully selected and balanced mix which offers a vast variety of flavors and difficulties, ranging from AMC and AIME levels to high-end IMO problems. Out of thousands of Olympiad problems from around the globe, the authors chose those which best illustrate the featured techniques and their applications. The problems meet the authors' demanding taste and fully exhibit the enchanting beauty of classical geometry. For every problem, they provide a detailed solution and strive to pass on the intuition and motivation behind it. Many problems have multiple solutions.Directly experiencing Olympiad geometry both as contestants and instructors, the authors are convinced that a neat diagram is essential to efficiently solve a geometry problem. Their diagrams do not contain anything superfluous, yet emphasize the key elements and benefit from a good choice of orientation. Many of the proofs should be legible only from looking at the diagrams.

This book is an English translation of a text written by Constantin Mihalescu, a retired artillery colonel and enthusiastic amateur mathematician. With the majority of the results obtained in the second half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century, this book was one of the most complete descriptions of geometry of its time. It contains a comprehensive collection of the most important properties of points, lines, and circles related to triangles and quadrilaterals, as they were known by the mid-1950s, and a rich assortment of problems to entice and inspire readers of all levels. Topics covered include the nine-point circle, the Simson line, the orthopolar triangles, the orthopole, the Gergonne and Nagel points, the Miquel point and circle, the Carnot circle, the Brocard points, the Lemoine point and circles, the Newton-Gauss line, and much more.

AwesomeMath Summer Program started in 2006. Since then until 2021 there have been 48 admission tests featuring a total of 510 problems. The vast majority of the problems were created by Dr. Titu Andreescu, Co-founder and Director of AwesomeMath. The problems are original, carefully designed, and cover all four traditional areas of competition math: Algebra, Geometry, Number Theory, and Combinatorics. The problems and solutions are divided in two volumes. Volume I focuses on the years since the start of the summer program in 2006 through 2014. Volume II includes the years 2015 to 2021, inclusively. Each volume starts with the statements of the test problems. Complete and enhanced solutions to all problems are then presented, numerous problems having multiple solutions.
