Features: The subject Olympiads for primary and secondary schools (briefly referred to as subject Olympiads) are one of the most extensive, widely participated, and influential subject competitions for primary and secondary school students in China. Subject Olympiads are derived from and extended from the International Mathematical Olympiad (briefly referred to as IMO), the International Physics Olympiad (briefly referred to as IPHO), the International Chemistry Olympiad (briefly referred to as ICHO), and other internationally influential subject competitions for secondary school students, which are eagerly anticipated and followed by millions of young students every year. The reason for such widespread attention lies in the strong innovation, flexibility, comprehensiveness of Olympiads, as well as their emphasis on cultivating students' exploration skills and inspiring their innovative awareness, which are precisely the core content of quality education. This is also the need for future development. Based on years of careful research on this activity both domestically and internationally, as well as a large number of outstanding books in this category, the Editorial Department of Subject Olympiads for Primary and Secondary Schools has invited outstanding educators dedicated to this field from all over the country to compile and publish a series of books titled "Gold Medal Olympiads" and "Gold Medal Schools" covering a total of more than 200 varieties in seven subjects: mathematics, Chinese, English, physics, chemistry, biology, and informatics. In terms of the variety, quantity, and quality of our Olympiad books, they are arguably the most influential among peers both domestically and internationally, and are the most appealing to primary and secondary school teachers and students. The compilation purpose and characteristics of the "Gold Medal Olympiads" and "Gold Medal Schools" series are as follows:
1. High: Derived from the curriculum but exceeding it. Derived from the curriculum means referring to the new [curriculum standards] of the Ministry of Education for compilation; exceeding the curriculum means closely aligning with the competition syllabi of various levels, ensuring comprehensive alignment in content, question types, and ability requirements, thereby fostering interest, developing intelligence, and enhancing skills.
2. Accurate: Scientifically precise and well-structured. Each book is designed hierarchically according to the characteristics of the subject, scientifically organized, and follows a step-by-step approach, offering in-depth yet accessible analysis and comprehensive, detailed problem-solving methods.
3. Innovative: The questions selected are novel, unique, and engaging. They gather the essence of recent Olympiad, middle school, and high school examination questions from both domestically and internationally, representing the highest level of current Olympiads and reflecting new concepts in curriculum reform, as well as new ideas, methods, and trends in competition question-setting.
4. Exquisite: Selected examples are challenging yet not obscure, flexible, and attainable. The focus is on generalizing from one example to many, and on solving one question in multiple ways, transforming one question into many, and asking multiple questions about one. Emphasis is placed on training thinking skills, avoiding rote memorization, and making learning an interest and hobby.
5. Renowned: Gathered by famous teachers and collected from famous competitions.
