Versatile and comprehensive in content, this book of problems will
appeal to students in nearly all areas of mathematics. The text offers
original and advanced problems proposed from 1995 to 2016 at the
Mathematics Olympiads. Essential for undergraduate students, PhD
students, and instructors, the problems in this book vary in difficulty
and cover most of the obligatory courses given at the undergraduate
level, including calculus, algebra, geometry, discrete mathematics,
measure theory, complex analysis, differential equations, and
probability theory. Detailed solutions to all of the problems from Part
I are supplied in Part II, giving students the ability to check their
solutions and observe new and unexpected ideas. Most of the problems in
this book are not technical and allow for a short and elegant solution.
The problems given are unique and non-standard; solving the problems
requires a creative approach as well as a deep understanding of the
material. Nearly all of the problems are originally authored by
lecturers, PhD students, senior undergraduates, and graduate students of
the mechanics and mathematics faculty of Taras Shevchenko National
University of Kyiv as well as by many others from Belgium, Canada, Great
Britain, Hungary, and the United States.
