This book is a continuation Mathematical Olympiads 1995-1996: Olympiad Problems from Around the World, published by the American Mathemat-ics Competitions. It contains solutions to the problems from 25 national and regional contests featured in the earlier pamphlet, together with se-
lected problems (without solutions) from national and regional contests
given during 1997.
This collection is intended as practice for the serious student who wishes to improve his or her performance on the USAMO. Some of the problems are comparable to the USAMO in that they came from na-
tional contests. Others are harder, as some countries first have a national olympiad, and later one or more exams to select a team for the IMO. And some problems come from regional international contests (“mini-IMOs”).Different nations have different mathematical cultures, so you will find
some of these problems extremely hard and some rather easy. We have tried to present a wide variety of problems, especially f uprom those countries that have often done well at the IMO.
Each contest has its own time limit. We have not furnished this in-formation, because we have not always included complete contests. As a rule of thumb, most contests allow a time limit ranging between one-half to one full hour per problem.
Thanks to Walter Mientka for his continuing support of this project, and to the students of the 1997 Mathematical Olympiad Summer Program for their help in preparing solutions.
