102 Combinatorial Problems : From the Training of the USA IMO Team

"102 Combinatorial Problems" consists of carefully selected problemsthat have been used in the training and testing of the USAInternational Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) team.Key features:* Provides in-depth enrichment in the important areas of combinatoricsby reorganizing and enhancing problem-solving tactics and strategies* Topics include: combinatorial arguments and identities, generatingfunctions, graph theory, recursive relations, sums and products,probability, number theory, polynomials, theory of equations, complexnumbers in geometry, algorithmic proofs, combinatorial and advancedgeometry, functional equations and classical inequalitiesThe book is systematically organized, gradually building combinatorialskills and techniques and broadening the student's view ofmathematics. Aside from its practical use in training teachers andstudents engaged in mathematical competitions, it is a source ofenrichment that is bound to stimulate interest in a variety ofmathematical areas that are tangential to combinatorics.
