Many of the essay problems were inspired by Russian mathematical folklore and written to suit the young audience; for example, the 1989 Sugar problem was written as a pleasant Lewis Carroll-like story. Some other entertaining problems involve old Victorian map colorings, King Arthur and the knights of the round table, rooks in space, Santa Claus and his elves painting planes, football for 23, and even the Colorado Springs subway system..The book is more than just problems, their solutions, and event statistics; it tells a compelling story involving the lives of those who have been part of the Olympiad from every perspective.. | 出版日期 | Textbook 2011 | 关键词 | Erdös problem; Schur theorem; algebra; colored plane; convex figures; currentjmb; high school; problem solv | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-75472-7 | isbn_softcover | 978-0-387-75471-0 | isbn_ebook | 978-0-387-75472-7 | copyright | Alexander Soifer 2011 |
