Birkhäuser Boston, 2003

Definitely a treasure!

+ A good pedagogical aid for math competition
+ Helpful for the experience, but not beginners

Andreescu delivered again! This book teaches powerful math problem solving techniques through a series of graded problems. The insight from these two renounced problem solvers of elementary problems at the olympiad level is prevalent throughout the book, which is what makes this book a treasure. ...
