Features: Since its publication in 2000, "The OLYMPIAD Mathematics Course" has been widely welcomed and praised by readers. Many have written to express their admiration and love for the series. In 2001, the books were awarded the Excellent Bestseller Prize at the 10th National Education Book Exhibition. Soon after, Hong Kong Modern Educational Research Press published its traditional Chinese edition and online version, which quickly became one of the best-selling books in Hong Kong. It is said that in many countries, especially the United States, children fear mathematics, considering it an "unpopular subject," but the situation in China is quite different. Many young children love mathematics and perform well in it. Indeed, mathematics is a subject where Chinese people excel. If you see a few Chinese students in a U.S. middle or high school class, they are bound to occupy the top spots in mathematics. China is skilled in calculation, particularly mental arithmetic. In ancient times, people even used their fingers for calculations (so-called "counting on the fingers"). At the same time, China had calculating devices as early as ancient times, such as counting rods and the abacus. The latter can be considered the prototype of the computer.
