The Hungary-Israel Mathematics Competition commenced in 1990 when diplomatic relations between the two countries were in their infancy. This 181 page book summarizes the first 12 years of the competition (1990 to 2001) and includes the problems and complete solutions. The book is directed at mathematics lovers, problem solving enthusiasts and students who wish to improve their competition skills. No special or advanced knowledge is required beyond that of the typical IMO contestant and the book includes a glossary explaining the terms and theorems which are not standard that have been used in the book.
This book contains 101 highly rated problems used in training and testing the USA IMO Team. It gradually builds students’ algebraic skills and techniques and aims to broaden students’ views of mathematics and better prepare them for participation in mathematics competitions. It provides in-depth enrichment in important areas of algebra by reorganizing and enhancing students’ problem-solving tactics and stimulates interest for future study of mathematics. The problems are carefully graded, ranging from quite accessible towards quite challenging. The problems have been well developed and are highly recommended to any student aspiring to participate at National or International Mathematical Olympiads.
Using this book will improve your understanding of math and have you performing like a genius!
People who excel at mathematics use better strategies than the rest of us; they are not necessarily more intelligent.
Speed Mathematics teaches simple methods that will enable you to make lightning calculations in your head–including multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction, as well as working with fractions, squaring numbers, and extracting square and cube roots.
Core-Plus Mathematics is a standards-based, four-year integrated series. Concepts from algebra, geometry, probability, and statistics are integrated, and the mathematics is developed using context-centered investigations. Developed by the Core-Plus Math Project at Western Michigan University with funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF), Core-Plus Mathematics is written for all students to be successful in mathematics.
Reading age for native speakers: High School students
The content of California Pre-Algebra offers complete coverage of California’s Grade 7 Mathematics Content Standards. Mathematics standards from previous grades are reviewed to help understand Grade 7 standards. Activities are provided to develop Grade 7 concepts. Each lesson has ample skill practice so that students can master the important mathematical processes taught in Grade 7. California Pre-Algebra also teaches valuable techniques for solving purely mathematical as well as real-world problems. Throughout each chapter students will engage in error analysis and mathematical reasoning to build critical thinking skills and to construct logical arguments. California Pre-Algebra thus provides a balance between basic skills, conceptual understanding, and problem solving – all supported by mathematical reasoning.
