More Mathematical Challenges

Tony Gardiner This text contains the problems from the U. K. Junior Mathematical Olympiad from the years 1989 – 1995 and sixty additional problems that were considered for the tests. The problems, which are meant to be done without a calculator, draw upon number sense, estimation, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and combinatorics. To qualify for these competitions, students first had to excel on the U. K. School Mathematics Challenge. Problems from that competition can be found in Gardiner’s Mathematical Challenge, which you should work through before attempting the problems in this text. Unless you can handle most of the problems in Mathematical Challenge with ease, you will find working through this book frustrating
