This book is a continuation of Mathematical Olympiads 1999-2000: Problems and Solutions From Around the World, published by the Mathematical Association of America. It contains solutions to the problems from 27 national and regional contests featured in the earlier book, together with selected problems (without solutions) from national and regional contests given during 2001. In many cases multiple solutions are provided in order to encourage students to compare different problem-solving strategies. The editors have tried to present a wide variety of problems, especially from those countries that have often done well at the IMO. The problems themselves should provide much enjoyment for all those fascinated by solving challenging mathematics questions.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Loving mathematical problems,
This review is from: Mathematical Olympiads, 2000-2001: Problems and Solutions from Around the World (MAA Problem Book Series) (Paperback)
This book contains a selection of very interesting problems proposed to various mathematical olympiads from USA and other countries in 2000 and 2001. The solutions are well presented and they contain very informative remarks and references, as well as cross-references to other problems proposed to mathematical competitions. All in all, this book is VERY WELL written, full of interesting problems and I WARMLY recommend it to anyone interested in mathematical competitions, or just in solving nice problems.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great for anyone interested on this kind of problem solving,

This review is from: Mathematical Olympiads, 2000-2001: Problems and Solutions from Around the World (MAA Problem Book Series) (Paperback)
This is a great book for problem solving, whether you are a participant, or a trainer (read tutor, but for former participants, we prefer trainer). Anyway, it is a great collection of problems and solutions.
OK! I am about twelve years overdue for math contests, but I enjoyed them way too much, and now, my little brothers are getting to the right age, so, I have bought some literature. This book is part of it, and an important part in that regard. I just would love it to be a bit cheaper. I mean, it doesn't hurt, for me, a college professor, to spend a Benjamin in three books for math olympiads, but when I was sixteen and participating on contests, I wouldn't have been able to afford it.
