Features: "Hope Cup" National Mathematical Invitational is one of the largest and most influential extracurricular subject competitions for Chinese high school students. Its question-setting committee consists of top domestic experts in mathematical competitions. Since 1991, under the authorization of the "Hope Cup" National Mathematical Invitational Organizing Committee, the Meteorological Press has exclusively published over 30 series of "Hope Cup" mathematical competition books, which have been widely welcomed by teachers and students and have become the brand books of the Meteorological Press. Due to the close connection of the competition's questions with secondary school mathematics teaching, rooted in textbooks yet exceeding them, all questions are designed to be novel and distinctive, lively yet not difficult, clever yet not biased or obscure. They are both accessible to the masses and possess considerable difficulty, effectively combining scientific rigor, knowledge, inspiration, and fun. This has greatly benefited the promotion of high school students' mathematical proficiency and innovative abilities, making the competition widely popular among students and their mathematics teachers. Increasing numbers of mathematicians and mathematical educators have enthusiastically praised and paid attention to the competition, believing it is highly beneficial for the development of Chinese mathematics education. This book includes the preliminary, second preliminary, training questions, and answers with hints for the 10th "Hope Cup" National Mathematical Invitational for first and second-year high school students. This book is suitable for high school students and mathematics teachers.
