<P>The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) has within its almost 50-year-old history become the most popular and prestigious competition for high-school students interested in mathematics. Only six students from each participating country are given the honor of participating in this competition every year. The IMO represents not only a great opportunity to tackle interesting and challenging mathematics problems, it also offers a way for high school students to measure up with students from the rest of the world.</P>
<P>The IMO has sparked off a burst of creativity among enthusiasts in creating new and interesting mathematics problems. In an extremely stiff competition, only six problems are chosen each year to appear on the IMO. The total number of problems proposed for the IMOs up to this point is staggering and, as a whole, this collection of problems represents a valuable resource for all high school students preparing for the IMO.</P>
<P>Until now it has been almost impossible to obtain a complete collection of the problems proposed at the IMO in book form. "The IMO Compendium" is the result of a two year long collaboration between four former IMO participants from Yugoslavia, now Serbia and Montenegro, to rescue these problems from old and scattered manuscripts, and produce the ultimate source of IMO practice problems. This book attempts to gather all the problems and solutions appearing on the IMO, as well as the so-called "short-lists", a total of 864 problems. In addition, the book contains 1036 problems from various "long-lists" over the years, for a grand total of 1900 problems.</P>
<P>In short, "The IMO Compendium" is the ultimate collection of challenging high-school-level mathematics problems. It will be an invaluable resource, not only for high-school students preparing for mathematics competitions, but for anyone who loves and appreciates math.</P>
The definitive source for IMO problems Concise solutions and hints for all problems Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
<P>The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) is the most prestigious competition for high-school students interested in mathematics. It offers high school students a chance to measure up with students from the rest of the world. This book attempts to gather all the problems and solutions appearing on the IMO over the past fifty years and to present them in one volume for the first time. It is the result of a two year long collaboration between former IMO participants to rescue these problems from old and scattered manuscripts, and produce the definitive source of IMO practice problems.
