Features: Since many of the examples and exercises (as well as reference problems) in The Primary Reading Material for Math Olympiad (4th Edition) are selected from competition problems in recent two to three years of nationwide extracurricular math activities, it is necessary to compile a companion "Solutions to Exercises" for reference by readers. The principles followed by the authors in compiling this "Solutions to Exercises" are as follows: The solutions to the exercises in each chapter are closely tied to the content and examples of that chapter, ensuring that the basic knowledge is not advanced. Therefore, the authors first review the relevant content and examples in The Primary Reading Material for Math Olympiad. They strive to select the simplest solutions to make them easy to read, understand, and accept. They provide diverse solutions to enable readers to grasp the material from different perspectives. The solutions are appropriately detailed, allowing readers to follow them smoothly without feeling overly complicated.
Lastly, the authors would like to remind readers of one thing: due to space constraints, they cannot, like the examples in "The Primary Reading Material," include "where to think and analyze" or "why the solution is structured this way" before providing the solutions to each exercise. Therefore, it is recommended that readers first review the relevant examples in the 4th edition of "The Primary Reading Material" before reading this "Solutions" book, so they can better understand the solutions and their origins.
