Features: The Book of Changes, this extraordinary work, has been intertwined with mathematics since its inception. In recent discussions about the relationship between the I Ching and science, the connection between the I Ching and mathematics is one of the most fundamental and typical topics. The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) is the largest and most influential international subject competition for high school students in the world today. Can the thoughts and symbols in the I Ching truly solve modern Mathematical Olympiad problems? This book uses the philosophy of the I Ching trigrams to solve 100 Mathematical Olympiad problems, addressing this challenging and intriguing question. The book also discusses the influence of the I Ching on the origin and development of ancient Chinese mathematics, the connection between trigrams and modern mathematics, as well as the application of trigrams in solving Mathematical Olympiad problems. The exploration of the relationship between ancient wisdom and modern science in the I Ching and the Mathematical Olympiad holds special significance for the popularization and dissemination of ancient culture and modern science.
