Senior Mathematical Challenge

The UK National Mathematics Contest 1988 – 1996 Tony Gardiner Senior Mathematical Challenge contains the British National Mathematical Contest papers from the years 1988 – 1996 and ten short problem papers consisting of ten problems apiece that are composed of problems that were considered, but not selected, for those contests. The problems, which draw upon algebra, geometry, number theory, sequences and series, trigonometry, estimation, probability, and mathematical puzzles, require the reader to use skills learned in General Comprehensive School Examination and A level classes in unexpected ways. They range in difficulty from fairly routine problems to those that require considerable ingenuity to solve. Working through this book is a great way to develop your problem solving skills.
