چکیده
Abstract In this paper, we consider the issues involved in creating appropriate problems for a popular mathematics competition, and how such differ from typically encountered classroom. We discuss differences similarities school curricula versus generally agreed upon topics international competitions. The question of inspiration development competition is dealt with standpoint problem author, while aspects related to motivation contest participant, objective subjective difficulty mathematical precision competitions are also discussed.

متن کاملGreat Problems of Mathematics: A Summer Workshop for High School Students
Stimulating problems are at the heart of many great advances in mathematics. In fact, whole subjects owe their existence to a single problem that resisted solution. Nevertheless, throughout the curriculum we tend to present only polished theories and finished techniques, devoid of both the motivating problems and the long road to their solution. Why deprive our students of examples of the proce...
متن کاملDoing High School Mathematics Carefully
We show how solutions to typical problems of High School and rst-year University mathematics can be written using structured derivations. Such a derivation extends the calculational proof format with subderivations that allow inferences to presented at diierent levels of detail. By using structured derivations and a minimal amount of logical syntax, we can write solution to typical problems in ...
