Moscow Mathematical Olympiads 2000-2005Alexander KovaldzhiLabel: American Mathematical SocietyDescription: The Moscow Mathematical Olympiad has been challenging high-school students with stimulating original problems of different degrees of difficulty for over 75 years. The problems are nonstandard; solving them takes wit thinking outside the box and sometimes hours of contemplation. Some are within the reach of most mathematically competent high-school students while others are difficult even for a mathematics professor. Many mathematically inclined students have found that tackling these problems or even just reading their solutions is a great way to develop mathematical insight. In 2006 the Moscow Center for Continuous Mathematical Education began publishing a collection of problems from the Moscow Mathematical Olympiads providing for each an answer (and sometimes a hint) as well as one or more detailed solutions. This volume represents the years 2000-2005. The problems and the accompanying material are well suited for math circles. They are also appropriate for problem-solving classes and practice for regional and national mathematics competitions.
