Features: From Mathematical Competitions to Competitive Mathematics, this book first studies the material foundation on which competitive mathematics is based—competitive activities. The first part explores competitive activities from the perspective of the integration of mathematics and education. The second part covers the main content of competitive mathematics, dividing it into number theory, algebra, geometry, and combinatorics according to the subjects involved in domestic and international mathematical competitions. It analyzes key content and typical problems, revealing the essence of the issues. The third part discusses the basic methods for solving competitive mathematics problems, including approaches to solving competition problems and important ideas. These mathematically creative, high-level thinking, and high-intelligence-level arts form some vivid and dynamic components of competitive mathematics. Through a network of horizontal and vertical connections, the book enables readers to comprehensively understand the content, ideas, and methods of competitive mathematics. This book serves as a learning resource for undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics education programs at various normal universities and can also be used as a textbook for training sessions for mathematical olympiad coaches.
