Soifer A. The Colorado Mathematical Olympiad: The Third Decade and Further Explorations

Springer, 2017. — 289 p.Now in its third decade, the Colorado Mathematical Olympiad (CMO), founded by the author, has become an annual state-wide competition, hosting many hundreds of middle and high school contestants each year. This book presents a year-by-year history of the CMO from 2004–2013 with all the problems from the competitions and their solutions. Additionally, the book includes 10 further explorations, bridges from solved Olympiad problems to ‘real’ mathematics, bringing young readers to the forefront of various fields of mathematics. This book contains more than just problems, solutions, and event statistics ― it tells a compelling story involving the lives of those who have been part of the Olympiad, their reminiscences of the past and successes of the present.
