Math Hour Olympiads is a non-standard method of training middle-
and high-school students interested in mathematics where students
spend several hours thinking about a few difficult and unusual
problems. When a student solves a problem, the solution is
presented orally to a pair of friendly judges. Discussing the
solutions with the judges creates a personal and engaging
mathematical experience for the students and introduces them to the
true nature of mathematical proof and problem solving. This book
recounts the authors' experiences from the first ten years of
running a Math Hour Olympiad at the University of Washington in
Seattle. The major part of the book is devoted to problem sets and
detailed solutions, complemented by a practical guide for anyone
who would like to organize an oral olympiad for students in their
community. In the interest of fostering a greater awareness and
appreciation of mathematics and its connections to other
disciplines and everyday life, MSRI and the AMS are publishing
books in the Mathematical Circles Library series as a service to
young people, their parents and teachers, and the mathematics
profession.
