By Geoff Smith.
This text will enable enthusiastic students to deal with confidence with secondary school mathematics competitions at the highest level. The book is a sequel to
A Mathematical Olympiad Primer by the same author, but contains harder problems.
Books in the
Handbooks series are aimed particularly at students in secondary school who are interested in acquiring knowledge and skills which are useful for tackling problems, such as those posed in the competitions administered by the UKMT and similar organisations. Like the previous volumes in the
Handbooks series this book provides ready access to directly relevant material. All these books are characterised by the large number of carefully constructed exercises for the reader to attempt.
From The Mathematical Gazette review of the first edition of
A Mathematical Olympiad Primer:
'Undoubtedly the book is a valuable source of many very interesting mathematical problems and their solutions. I am entirely convinced that schools with mathematically ambitious teachers and students should have it in their library.'
