the Art of Problem Solving, Volume 2: and Beyond Online Book

<p><i>The Art of Problem Solving, Volume 2</i>, is the classic problem solving textbook used by many successful high school math teams and enrichment programs and has 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. </p> <p><i>Volume 2</i> is appropriate for students who have mastered the problem solving fundamentals presented in <i>Volume 1</i> and are ready for a greater challenge. Although <i>the Art of Problem Solving</i> 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.</p> <p>Speaking of problems, <i>the Art of Problem Solving, Volume 2</i>, contains over 500 examples and exercises culled from such contests as the Mandelbrot Competition, the AMC tests, and ARML. Full solutions (not just answers!) for all the problems are built into the book.</p>
