The Mathematical Olympiad examinations, covering the USA Mathematical Olympiad (USAMO) and the International Mathematical Olypiad (IMO), have been published annually since 1976. The IMO is the world mathematics championship for high school students. It takes place every year in a different country. The IMO competitions help to discover, challenge, and encourage mathematically gifted young people all over the world. In addition to presenting their own carefully written solutions to the problems presented here, the editors have provided remarkable solutions developed by the examination committees, contestants, and experts, during and after the contests. They also provide a comprehensive guide to other materials on advances problem-solving. This collection of excellent problems and beautiful solutions is a valuable companion for students who wish to develop their interest in mathematics outside the school curriculum and to deepen their knowledge of mathematics.
This is the third volume of problems that cover the USA Mathematical Olympiad (USAMO) and the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) to be published by the MAA in its Problem Book series.

The Moscow Mathematical Olympiad has been challenging high-school students with stimulating, original problems for over 75 years. This volume presents a selection of problems from the Olympiad, along with detailed solutions.
People delight in working on problems ""because they are there,"" for the sheer pleasure of meeting a challenge. This is a book full of such delights. In it, Murray S. Klamkin brings together 75 original USA Mathematical Olympiad (USAMO) problems for yearss 1972-1986, with many improvements, extensions, related exercises, open problems, references and solutions, often showing alternative approaches. The problems are coded by subject, and solutions are arranged by subject, e.g., algebra, number theory, solid geometry, etc., as an aid to those interested in a particular field. Included is a Glossary of frequently used terms and theorems and a comprehensive bibliography with items numbered and referred to in brackets in the text. This a collection of problems and solutions of arresting ingenuity, all accessible to secondary school students. The USAMO has been taken annually by about 150 of the nation's best high school mathematics students. This exam helps to find and encourage high school students with superior mathematical talent and creativity and is the culmination of a three-tiered competition that begins with the American High School Mathematics Examination (AHSME) taken by over 400,000 students. The eight winners of the USAMO are candidates for the US team in the International Mathematical Olympiad. Schools are encouraged to join this large and important enterprise. See page x of the preface for further information. This book includes a list of all of the top contestants in the USAMO and their schools. The problems are intriguing and the solutions elegant and informative. Students and teachers will enjoy working these challenging problems. Indeed, all those who are mathematically inclined will find many delights and pleasant challenges in this book.
