The Mathematical Olypiad books, covering the USA Mathematical
Olypiad (USAMO) and the International Mathematical Olypiad (IMO),
have been published annually by the MAA American Mathematics
Competitions since 1976. This is the sixth volume in that series
published by the MAA in its Problem Book series. The IMO is the
work mathematics championship for high school students. It takes
place annually in a different country each year. The aims of the
IMO are (1) to discover, encourage and challenge mathematically
gifted young people in all countries; (2) to foster friendships
between mathematicians around the world; (3) to create an
opportunity for the exchange of information on school syllabi and
practice throughout the world. The USAMO and the Team Selection
Test (TST) are the last two stages of the selection process for the
United states of America IMO team. The preceding examinations are
the AMC 10 or AMC12 and the American Invitational Mathematics
Examination (AIME). Participation in the AIME, USAMO, and the TST
is by invitation only, based on performance in the preceding exams
of the sequence. Through the AMC contests and the IMO, young gifted
mathematicians are identified and recognized while they are still
in secondary school. Participation in the competitions provides
them with the chance to measure themselves against other
exceptional students from all over the world. This work was
prepared by Zuming Feng, Melanie Matchett Wood, the Leader and
Deputy Leader of the 2004 USA IMO team, and by Cecil Rousseau, the
chair of the USAMO Committee. In addition to presenting their own
carefully written solutions to the problems, Zuming and Melanie
provide remarkable solutions developed by the examination
committees, contestants, and experts, during or after the contests.
They also provide a detailed report of the 2000 2004 USAMO/IMO
results and a comprehensive guide to other material that emphasize
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.
