Problem Solving Methods and Strategies in High School Mathematical Competitions

Grab attention with a single resource that sharpens contest-ready thinking: Problem Solving Methods and Strategies in High School Mathematical Competitions by Bin Xiong and Yijie He. This practical guide is written for ambitious high school students, coaches, and teachers preparing for math contests across North America, Europe, and Asia.

Dive into clearly explained techniques and real contest-style problems spanning algebra, geometry, number theory, combinatorics, and inequalities. Each chapter pairs concise theory with worked examples and strategic heuristics — from invariants and extremal arguments to clever constructions and inequality tactics — helping learners understand not just how to solve a problem, but how to think like a problem solver.

What makes this book indispensable is its focus on transferrable strategies. Readers gain systematic approaches for time-pressured exams (AMC, AIME, national olympiads) and long-term training for international competitions. The authors’ approachable style builds confidence: step-by-step reasoning, common pitfalls to avoid, and curated problem sets that gradually increase in difficulty.

Whether you’re a student aiming to improve contest performance, a teacher designing training sessions, or a parent seeking a rigorous study aid, this title offers structure, insight, and measurable progress. Clear indexing and practical examples make it ideal for self-study or classroom use.

Strengthen contest skills and transform your problem-solving mindset — add Problem Solving Methods and Strategies in High School Mathematical Competitions by Bin Xiong and Yijie He to your shelf today and start mastering the strategies top competitors rely on.
