This book contains 10 AMC 10 -style tests (problems and solutions). The author tried hard to create each test similar to real AMC 10 exams. Some of the problems in this book were inspired by problems from American Mathematics Competitions 10 and China Math Contest. The author also tried hard to create some new problems. We field tested the problems in this book with students in our 2015 Mathcounts State Competition Training Groups. We would like to thank them for the valuable suggestions and corrections. We tried our best to avoid any mistakes and typos. If you see any mistakes or typos, please contact [email protected] so we can make improvements to the book.

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.

This book consists only of author-created problems with author-prepared solutions (never published before) and it is intended as a teacher's manual of mathematics, a self-study handbook for high-school students and mathematical competitors interested in AMC 10 (American Mathematics Competitions). The book teaches problem solving strategies and aids to improve problem solving skills. The book includes a list of the most useful theorems and formulas for AMC 10, it also includes 12 sets of author-created AMC 10 type practice tests (300 author-created AMC 10 type problems and their detailed solutions). National Math Competition Preparation (NMCP) program of RSM used part of these 12 sets of practice tests to train students for AMC 10, as a result 75 percent of NMCP high school students qualified for AIME. The authors provide both a list of answers for all 12 sets of author-created AMC 10 type practice tests and author-prepared solutions for each problem.About the authors: Hayk Sedrakyan is an IMO medal winner, professional mathematical Olympiad coach in greater Boston area, Massachusetts, USA. He is the Dean of math competition preparation department at RSM. He has been a Professor of mathematics in Paris and has a PhD in mathematics (optimal control and game theory) from the UPMC - Sorbonne University, Paris, France. Hayk is a Doctor of mathematical sciences in USA, France, Armenia and holds three master's degrees in mathematics from institutions in Germany, Austria, Armenia and has spent a small part of his PhD studies in Italy. Hayk Sedrakyan has worked as a scientific researcher for the European Commission (sadco project) and has been one of the Team Leaders at Harvard-MIT Mathematics Tournament (HMMT). He took part in the International Mathematical Olympiads (IMO) in United Kingdom, Japan and Greece. Hayk has been elected as the President of the students' general assembly and a member of the management board of Cite Internationale Universitaire de Paris (10,000 students, 162 different nationalities) and the same year they were nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Nairi Sedrakyan is involved in national and international mathematical Olympiads having been the President of Armenian Mathematics Olympiads and a member of the IMO problem selection committee. He is the author of the most difficult problem ever proposed in the history of the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), 5th problem of 37th IMO. This problem is considered to be the hardest problems ever in the IMO because none of the members of the strongest teams (national Olympic teams of China, USA, Russia) succeeded to solve it correctly and because national Olympic team of China (the strongest team in the IMO) obtained a cumulative result equal to 0 points and was ranked 6th in the final ranking of the countries instead of the usual 1st or 2nd place. The British 2014 film X+Y, released in the USA as A Brilliant Young Mind, inspired by the film Beautiful Young Minds (focuses on an English mathematical genius chosen to represent the United Kingdom at the IMO) also states that this problem is the hardest problem ever proposed in the history of the IMO (minutes 9:40-10:30). Nairi Sedrakyan's students (including his son Hayk Sedrakyan) have received 20 medals in the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), including Gold and Silver medals.

This book is a celebration of mathematical problem solving at the level of the high school American Invitational Mathematics Examination. There is no other book on the market focused on the AIME. It is intended, in part, as a resource for comprehensive study and practice for the AIME competition for students, teachers, and mentors. After all, serious AIME contenders and competitors should seek a lot of practice in order to succeed. However, this book is also intended for anyone who enjoys solving problems as a recreational pursuit. The AIME contains many problems that have the power to foster enthusiasm for mathematics – the problems are fun, engaging, and addictive. The problems found within these pages can be used by teachers who wish to challenge their students, and they can be used to foster a community of lovers of mathematical problem solving! There are more than 250 fully-solved problems in the book, containing examples from AIME competitions of the 1980’s, 1990’s, 2000’s, and 2010’s. In some cases, multiple solutions are presented to highlight variable approaches. To help problem-solvers with the exercises, the author provides two levels of hints to each exercise in the book, one to help stuck starters get an idea how to begin, and another to provide more guidance in navigating an approach to the solution.

"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.
