It expands on topics usually encountered in high school and could even be used as preparation for a first-semester undergraduate course. This third and last volume covers Counting, Generating Functions, Graph Theory, Number Theory, Complex Numbers, Polynomials, and much more. As part of a collection, the book differs from other publications in this field by not being a mere selection of questions or a set of tips and tricks that applies to specific problems. It starts from the most basic theoretical principles, without being either too general or too axiomatic. Examples and problems are discussed only if they are helpful as applications of the theory. Propositions are proved in detail and subsequently applied to Olympic problems or to other problems at the Olympic level. The book also explores some of the hardest problems presented at National and International Mathematics Olympiads, as well as many essential theorems related to the content. An extensive Appendix offering hints on or full solutions for all difficult problems rounds out the book. 410 0$aProblem Books in Mathematics,$x0941-3502 606 $aDiscrete mathematics 606 $aAlgebra 606 $aField theory (Physics) 606 $aDiscrete Mathematics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M29000 606 $aField Theory and Polynomials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M11051 615 0$aDiscrete mathematics. 615 0$aAlgebra. 615 0$aField theory (Physics). 615 14$aDiscrete Mathematics. 615 24$aField Theory and Polynomials. 676 $a511.1 700 $aCaminha Muniz Neto$b Antonio$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0767139 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300105403321 996 $aAn Excursion through Elementary Mathematics, Volume III$92018994 997 $aUNINA
