Features: Since the publication of "Math Olympiad Course" in 2000, it has been widely welcomed and praised by readers. Many have written to express their admiration and love for this series of books. In 2001, the series won the Excellent Bestseller Award at the 10th National Education Book Exhibition. Soon after, Hong Kong Modern Education Research Press published its traditional Chinese version 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 is quite different in China. Many young children love mathematics and perform well in math. Indeed, mathematics is a field where Chinese people excel. If you see a few Chinese students in a U.S. middle or high school class, they are bound to be among the top few in math. China is particularly good at calculations, especially mental arithmetic. In ancient times, people even used their fingers for calculations (so-called "counting on 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.
