While the books in this series are primarily designed for AMC competitors, they contain the most essential and indispensable concepts used throughout middle and high school mathematics.
Each section begins with several substa.
The book is well-suited for the teacher-coach interested in sets of problems on a given topic.
Although the book is intended for high school students aiming to do well in national and state math contests like the American Mathematics Competitions, the problems are accessible to very strong middle school students.
And the problems are delicious.
The topics are typical contest problem topics: divisors, absolute value, radical expressions, Veita\'s Theorem, squares, divisibility, lots of geometry, and some trigonometry.
Titu Andreescu US IMO Team Leader (1995 - 2002) Director, MAA American Mathematics Competitions (1998 - 2003) Director, Mathematical Olympiad Summer Program (1995 - 2002) Coach of the US IMO Team (1993 - 2006) Member of the IMO Advisory Board (2002 - 2006) Chair of the USAMO Committee (1996 - 2004) I love this book I love the style, the selection of topics and the choice of problems to illustrate the ideas discussed.
By Dr.
I have personally used a few of the books in this collection to prepare some of my students for the AMC contests or to form a foundation for others.
I recommend these books to not only contest participants, but also to young, aspiring mathletes in middle school who wish to consolidate their mathematical knowledge.
At the end, the solutions to the problems are discussed with many containing multiple methods of approach.
Each lesson starts with a few solved examples followed by a problem set meant to illustrate the content presented.
The topics are grouped in lessons focusing on fundamental concepts.
Some featured topics include key concepts such as equations, polynomials, exponential and logarithmic functions in Algebra, various synthetic and analytic methods used in Geometry, and important facts in Number Theory.
