商品描述

This book gathers problems based on over twenty years of the Indiana College Mathematics Competition, a regional problem-solving contest for teams of undergraduates. Its problems and solutions are accessible to students in a standard college curriculum, not necessarily with Olympiad-level training. Problem sets form the core of Part I, covering myriad aspects of algebra, calculus, number theory, probability, and geometry. Chapters are organized by year, and an index allows easy navigation through specific topics. In Part II, the reader finds detailed solutions to the exercises.

With revised solutions designed for a didactical approach, this book can be especially useful as a resource for problem-solving courses in college mathematics or as practice problems for graduate entrance exams. This volume is a sequel to Rick Gillman's "A Friendly Competition," which documented the first 35 years of the competition.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書匯集了二十多年來印第安納大學數學競賽的問題,這是一個面向本科生團隊的區域性問題解決競賽。這些問題和解答對於標準大學課程的學生來說是可理解的,不一定需要奧林匹克級的訓練。第一部分的核心是問題集,涵蓋了代數、微積分、數論、概率和幾何學的各個方面。章節按年份組織,索引方便讀者查找特定主題。第二部分提供了詳細的練習解答。

這本書通過重新設計的解答,以教學的方式呈現,對於大學數學的問題解決課程或研究生入學考試的練習問題尤其有用。本書是Rick Gillman的《友好競賽》的續集,該書記錄了競賽的前35年。
