“This book should be a must for all mathematicians who are involved in the training of Mathematical Olympiad teams, but it will also be a valuable source of problems for university courses.”

Mathematical Reviews

A textbook suitable for undergraduate courses. The materials are presented very explicitly so that students will find it very easy to read. A wide range of examples, about 500 combinatorial problems taken from various mathematical competitions and exercises are also included.
