: Encourages students to compare various problem-solving strategies by providing multiple solutions for many problems.
: Features problems from 27 national and regional mathematical contests held around the world during the 2000–2001 period.
The book edited by Titu Andreescu, Zuming Feng, and George Lee, Jr., serves as a high-level training resource for students preparing for the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) and other prestigious competitions. It is a continuation of the 1999–2000 volume and is published by the American Mathematical Society and the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) .

: Spend at least 2–3 days on a single difficult problem before checking the solution. The "joy of discovery" is essential for developing deep mathematical intuition .
: Euclidean proofs involving circles, triangles, transformations, and triangle centers. It is a continuation of the 1999–2000 volume
: Specifically highlights problems from countries that traditionally perform well at the IMO, offering a diverse range of difficulty and style. Preparation Guide: How to Use the Material
Before diving into the book's complex problems, ensure proficiency in the following core areas: In competitive math
: Even if you cannot reach a final answer, write down your key observations. In competitive math, partial arguments can earn 1–3 marks out of 7.
