Renowned for fostering deep understanding rather than rote memorization, this manual is a proven tool for aspiring Math Olympiad participants and educators seeking rigorous, clear explanations. ## Description This is the SOLUTIONS MANUAL ONLY to The Art of Problem Solving, Volume 1. The Art of Problem Solving, Volume 1, is the classic problem solving textbook used by many successful MATHCOUNTS programs, and have been an important building block for students who, like the authors, performed well enough on the American Mathematics Contest series to qualify for the Math Olympiad Summer Program which trains students for the United States International Math Olympiad team. Volume 1 is appropriate for students just beginning in math contests. MATHCOUNTS and novice high school students particularly have found it invaluable. Although the Art of Problem Solving is widely used by students preparing for mathematics competitions, the book is not just a collection of tricks. The emphasis on learning and understanding methods rather than memorizing formulas enables students to solve large classes of problems beyond those presented in the book. Speaking of problems, the Art of Problem Solving, Volume 1, contains over 500 examples and exercises culled from such contests as MATHCOUNTS, the Mandelbrot Competition, the AMC tests, and ARML. Full solutions (not just answers!) are available for all the problems in the solution manual. Review: Doing MathCounts? You NEED this - If your kid is (or if you are a kid) doing the MathCounts competition, you need to start here and know all this stuff. This is not the be all end all of your training, but you need to start here. Mastery of this book should put you ahead of 97-98% of the kids in local competitions. In short there are two types of kids in Math competitions: those that do AoPS and those that don't. Review: Very useful - This whole series is excellent. I am a retired high school math teacher and currently teach math as an adjunct. The material in all these books is presented in a clear, mathematically rigorous way. I became acquainted with the series in my work with a mathematically gifted student. Working through this and other texts in the series has improved my own problem solving ability. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #141,332 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #120 in Mathematics Study & Teaching (Books) #1,264 in Education Theory (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 108 Reviews | ## Images ![The Art of Problem Solving, Volume 1: The Basics Solutions Manual - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81X0WvAv07L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Doing MathCounts?

The reason why it is a must have is that some of the problems in the problem book are hard and you might really don't know how to solve them. Overall, the solutions to the problems is clear. It would be super nice if authors can offer different solution paths to same problem so students can see how those different solutions are connected. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Art of Problem Solving, Volume 1: The Basics Solutions Manual - The Art of Problem Solving, Vol. 1: The Basics - The Art of Problem Solving, Vol. 2: And Beyond Solutions Manual --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/8202895-the-art-of-problem-solving-volume-1-the-basics-solutions](https://www.desertcart.no/products/8202895-the-art-of-problem-solving-volume-1-the-basics-solutions) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
