Book DetailsAnneli Lax New Mathematical LibraryVolume: 29; 1982; 184 pp
The Annual High School Mathematics Examination (AHSME) began as a local contest in New York City in 1950. By 1960, 150,000 students throughout the United States and Canada took the AHSME. The 1982 Examination was administered to 418,000 participants in the United States and Canada and to 20,000 students in various countries of other continents.
In the United States and Canada, one use of AHSME is to select approximately one hundred participants in the U.S.A. Mathematical Olympiad, and the Olympiads are used in the selection of a student team to represent the United States in the International Mathematical Olympiad. Since the difficulty of problems appearing in the AHSME varies over a wide range, they are a valuable teaching aid for all high school students interested in mathematics.

It goes without saying that the books provide a convenient tool for preparation for future AMC competitions. To that end, they could be used by ambitious or homeschooled students or by teachers and coaches. ... if the task is to find several solutions to a problem, then even the more routine problems may form a starting point for an engaging activity.
