Book Description
This book is intended for the Mathematical Olympiad students who wish to prepare for the study of inequalities, a topic now of frequent use at various levels of mathematical competitions. In this volume we present both classic inequalities and the more useful inequalities for confronting and solving optimization problems. An important part of this book deals with geometric inequalities and this fact makes a big difference with respect to most of the books that deal with this topic in the mathematical olympiad. The book has been organized in four chapters which have each of them a different character. Chapter 1 is dedicated to present basic inequalities. Most of them are numerical inequalities generally lacking any geometric meaning. However, where it is possible to provide a geometric interpretation, we include it as we go along. We emphasize the importance of some of these inequalities, such as the inequality between the arithmetic mean and the geometric mean, the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, the rearrangementinequality, the Jensen inequality, the Muirhead theorem, among others. For all these, besides giving the proof, we present several examples that show how to use them in mathematical olympiad problems. We also emphasize how the substitution strategy is used to deduce several inequalities.

Euclidean Geometry in Mathematical Olympiads
Author: Evan Chen
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 1470466201
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
This is a challenging problem-solving book in Euclidean geometry, assuming nothing of the reader other than a good deal of courage. Topics covered included cyclic quadrilaterals, power of a point, homothety, triangle centers; along the way the reader will meet such classical gems as the nine-point circle, the Simson line, the symmedian and the mixtilinear incircle, as well as the theorems of Euler, Ceva, Menelaus, and Pascal. Another part is dedicated to the use of complex numbers and barycentric coordinates, granting the reader both a traditional and computational viewpoint of the material. The final part consists of some more advanced topics, such as inversion in the plane, the cross ratio and projective transformations, and the theory of the complete quadrilateral. The exposition is friendly and relaxed, and accompanied by over 300 beautifully drawn figures. The emphasis of this book is placed squarely on the problems. Each chapter contains carefully chosen worked examples, which explain not only the solutions to the problems but also describe in close detail how one would invent the solution to begin with. The text contains a selection of 300 practice problems of varying difficulty from contests around the world, with extensive hints and selected solutions. This book is especially suitable for students preparing for national or international mathematical olympiads or for teachers looking for a text for an honor class.

Book Description
For the curious reader looking to sharpen their arsenal of mathematical strategies on the Olympiad level, 113 Geometric Inequalities from the AwesomeMath Summer Program is a valuable addition. This problem-solving methodology prompts key ideas in other domains such as calculus or complex numbers as the solutions are usually nonstandard in a geometric sense. Nevertheless, trying your hand at these types of inequalities consolidates your mathematical reasoning while exposing you to a broad range of problems, all teeming with insightful inequality-type solutions.

Advanced Olympiad Inequalities: Algebraic & Geometric Olympiad Inequalities
Author: Alijadallah Belabess
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781794193925
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
This book contains a unique collection of new inequalities that were specifically imagined by the author to challenge the boundaries of curiosity and imagination. The inequalities are extremely beautiful and sharp, and the book covers various topics from 3 and 4 variables inequalities, symmetric and non-symmetric inequalities to geometric inequalities. Many of the exercises are presented with detailed solutions covering a variety of must-know old and new techniques in tackling Olympiad problems. The book contains also a variety of unsolved exercises which were left to the reader as additional challenges. Most importantly, the book deals with the daunting topic of asymmetric inequalities where most classical approaches fail. The book has been organised in five chapters. In the first one, we presented a collection of classical algebraic and geometric inequalities such as Cauchy-Schwarz, Cheybeshev's, Newton's, Bernoulli's, Euler's, Walker's inequalities among others. These are the classical inequalities that any student should master if he is aiming for a medal at Mathematical Olympiad competitions. The second and third chapters deal respectively with 3 and 4 variables inequalities covering both symmetric and asymmetric inequalities. The fourth chapter is about Geometric inequalities involving triangle sides, medians, altitudes, internal bisectors, areas, perimeters, orthic triangles, angles, circumradius, inradius...The last chapter contains detailed solutions to the proposed problems with more than one solution for some of the inequalities.

Basics of Olympiad Inequalities

Book Description
More than a decade ago I published some notes on inequalities on the WWW with the same title as this book aimed for mathematical olympiad preparation. I do not have specific data on how widespread it became. However, search results on the WWW, publication data on ResearchGate and occasional emails from teachers and students gave me evidence that it had indeed spread worldwide. While I was greatly overwhelmed and humbled that so many people across the world read my notes and presumably found them useful, I also felt it necessary to write a more detailed and improved version. This culminated in the publication of this book. While the main topics from the original notes have not changed, this book does contain more details and explanations. I therefore hope that it will be even more useful to everyone.
