"The International Mathematical Olympiad, or IMO is the premier international competition for talented high school mathematics students. ... This book collects statements and solutions of all of the problems ever set in the IMO, together with many problems proposed for the contest. ... serves as a vast repository of problems at the Olympiad level, useful both to students ... and to faculty looking for hard elementary problems. No library will want to be without a copy, nor will anyone involved in mathematics competitions ... ." -(Fernando Q. Gouvea, MathDL, March, 2006)
