Olympiad Preparation

Now I thought and as many of you demanded for Olympiad preparation materials I am starting it. Now I am going to share to you the best study materials for Olympiad Preparation. If you solve these questions from them you can surely be one of the members of International olympiads. You dont need to solve each of them just do some questions from each. You need not solve all completely. But I am providing you more than your needs to suit everybody's interest.

     MATHS OLYMPIAD


Olympiad General Preparation:

1. Math Olympiad Dark Arts

Geometry: Plane Geometry

The classical geometry resources are still the superior choices for study, even though they are very dense. Start with 1 and 2 (CPIG and Greitzer), but everything you will need can be found in Altshiller-Court,Johnson, or Aref.

Classical Olympiad Study:

1. Challenging Problems in Geometry by Alfred Posamentier.pdf"

2. Geometry Revisited (New Mathematical Library 19) by H. Coxeter, S. Greitzer (MSA, 1967).pdf

3. An Introduction to the Modern Geometry of the Triangle and the Circle by Nathan Altshiller-Court (Dover 2007).pdf"

4. Advanced Euclidean Geometry by Roger Johnson (Dover, 1960).pdf

5. Problems and Solutions in Euclidean Geometry by Aref, Wernick (Dover, 1968).pdf"

Modern Olympiad Level Presentations:

7. Problem-Solving and Selected Topics in Euclidean Geometry In the Spirit of the Mathematical Olympiads by Louridas, Rassias (2013).pdf

Algebra: Inequalities - (Geometric and Analytic)

The modern resources are far superior choices for study. Start with the tutorials and then the books, everything you will need is there. The classical resources include large amounts of material that is not relevant for high school olympiad contests and though interesting, can eat up your time.

1. A less than B (Inequalities) - Kedlaya (1999).pdf (37 page introduction)

2. Topics in Inequalities 1st edition - Hojoo Lee (2007).pdf (82 pages)

3. Olympiad Inequalities - Thomas Mildorf (2006).pdf (the basic 12)

When Less is More - Visualizing Basic Inequalities (Dolciani 36) - Alsina and Nelson (2009, MAA).pdf

Algebra: (Functional Equations)

There are no classical resources on olympiad functional equations problems. It was all hit or miss from various magazine problem sections. Start with the tutorials, then on to the books, then it's just a matter of doing problems. Treat each one as a puzzle.

1. The Quest for Functions (Tutorial - Beginner) by Vaderlind (2005).

2. Functional Equations (Tutorial - Advanced) by Radovanovic (2007).

3. Functional Equations by Andreescu, Boreico (2007)

4. Functional Equations and How To Solve Them by Small (Springer, 2007)

5. Functional Equations by Leigh-Lancaster (2006).

6. 100 Functional Equations from AoPS.

Discrete Mathematics (Combinatorics, Graph Theory):

The modern treatments are far superior to the classical resources. There are a number of good textbooks for background, but often include too much. The Art of Problem Solving Intermediate Counting is a good book to start with.

1. Counting, 2nd Edition - Meng, Guan (2013)

2. Principles and Techniques in Combinatorics - Chen Chuan-Chong, Koh Khee-Meng (WS, 1992).pdf

Number Theory:

The background for number theory can be found in any of dozens books that are usually titled "elementary number theory" or some variation. Once you know the basics it really is all about doing problems.

1. Elementary Number Theory - A Problem Solving Approach - Roberts (MIT, 1977).pdf

2. 1001 Problems in Classical Number Theory (Problems).pdf

3. 1001 Problems in Classical Number Theory (Solutions).pdf

4. 250 Problems in Elementary Number Theory - Sierpinski (1970).pdf

5. An Introduction to Diophantine Equations - A Problem-Based Approach -
