The Art of Problem Solving, Volume 1, is the classic problem solving textbook used by many successful MATHCOUNTS programs, and have been an important building block for students who, like the authors, performed well enough on the American Mathematics Contest series to qualify for the Math Olympiad Summer Program which trains students for the United States International Math Olympiad team. Volume 1 is appropriate for students just beginning in math contests. MATHCOUNTS and novice high school students particularly have found it invaluable. Although the Art of Problem Solving is widely used by students preparing for mathematics competitions, the book is not just a collection of tricks. The emphasis on learning and understanding methods rather than memorizing formulas enables students to solve large classes of problems beyond those presented in the book. Speaking of problems, the Art of Problem Solving, Volume 1, contains over 500 examples and exercises culled from such contests as MATHCOUNTS, the Mandelbrot Competition, the AMC tests, and ARML. Full solutions (not just answers!) are available for all the problems in the solution manual. Review: Timely delivery - Delivery was good. Got what I ordered.

Absolutely packed with the best presentation of pre-algebraic and algebraic concepts I have ever seen.
This book (and most likely the entire series) is fantastic. Concepts are explained fully and in the logical ordering necessary to build upon one another. Furthermore, mathematical properties (e.g. the fact that raising a non-zero number to the zeroth power is one, the divisibility shortcuts for some numbers, etc.) Are never hand-waived; the logic and proof of each concept is demonstrated. The lessons are rather dense, and the problems require more thought than the average math textbook's practice sets, but I feel that this actually makes the problems more engaging and less tedious. Do not be fooled by the "lower" page count. This book is absolutely worth it. A friend of mine, who recommended the series, was worried that her homeschooled child would be unable to pass standardized tests with just this course of study. I argued that her brilliant child didn't need to be stifled by a "standard" curriculum, and that she should instead supplement The Art of Problem Solving with instruction specifically aimed at test-taking strategies for standardized math tests. The knowledge expressed in The Art of Problem Solving is TRUE mathematics, and is more valuable than the goal of high marks on the SAT.

Fun workbook! This is more than just knowing algebra
Fun workbook! This is more than just knowing algebra. You actually need to spin your brain at full capacity. There's a separate book manual/answer key for this so it shouldn't get too frustrating. This is definitely a fun exercise for my brain and I didn't even like math ever in my life!

素晴らしいです
内容に文句なし。 無駄がないし、教育的。かつ、問題解決の分野においてかなり優れた構成です。 問題解決に欠かせない数学的な方法と手法を偏りなく抑えている。基本。 これと数学サークルを一緒にやれば、問題解決の基本はOK.というかthe art of problem solving, methematical circles, the art and craft of problem solvingの3シリーズなしには洗練された問題解決は始まらない。(一般人にとって)。 ただ輸入代行業者を通すとべらぼうに高いです。 amazon.comから直接購入すれば、業者を通して1冊買う値段で、このシリーズの本、本冊2冊と別冊解答2冊分買えます。 合計約9000円
