Moscow Mathematical Olympiads, 1993-1999

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 1993-1999.
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.
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.
Titles in this series are co-published with the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI).
