Some are simple mathematical puzzlers while others are serious problems at the Olympiad level. Students of all levels of interest and ability will be entertained and taught by the book. For many problems, more than one solution is supplied so that students can see how different approaches can be taken to a problem and compare the elegance and efficiency of different tools that might be applied. Teachers at both the college and secondary levels will find the book useful, both for encouraging their students and for their own pleasure. Some of the problems can be used to provide a little spice in the regular curriculum by demonstrating the power of very basic techniques. This collection provides a solid base for students who wish to enter competitions at the Olympiad level. They can begin with easy problems and progress to more demanding ones. A special mathematical tool chest summarizes the results and techniques needed by competition-level students. 410 0$aMAA spectrum. 606 $aMathematics$vProblems, exercises, etc 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMathematics 676 $a510/.76 700 $aBarbeau$b Edward$f1938-$067749 701 $aKlamkin$b Murray S$042248 701 $aMoser$b W.
