The Art of Problem Solving, Volume 1, is the classic problem solving
textbook used by many successful MATHCOUNTS programs, and have been an
important building block for students who, like the authors, performed
well enough on the American Mathematics Contest series to qualify for
the Math Olympiad Summer Program which trains students for the United
States International Math Olympiad team. Volume 1 is appropriate for
students just beginning in math contests. MATHCOUNTS and novice high
school students particularly have found it invaluable. Although the Art
of Problem Solving is widely used by students preparing for mathematics
competitions, the book is not just a collection of tricks. The emphasis
on learning and understanding methods rather than memorizing formulas
enables students to solve large classes of problems beyond those
presented in the book. Speaking of problems, the Art of Problem Solving,
Volume 1, contains over 500 examples and exercises culled from such
contests as MATHCOUNTS, the Mandelbrot Competition, the AMC tests, and
ARML. Full solutions (not just answers!) are available for all the
problems in the solution manual.
