from the CMS website www.cms.math.ca
or camel.math.ca/CMS/.
Students are strongly encouraged to send up solutions
each month; even if you do not get every problem or you
have incomplete solutions, it is important for us to
see what you have lest we can make some helpful comments.
Be sure to visit the website of the Canadian Mathematical
Society.
Here you can find links to the Olymon issues, problems of
the International Mathematical Talent Search and Olympiad
examinations. You can also subscribe electronically to
Crux Mathematicorum, which contains collections of
problems at various levels along with solutions to many of
them. Prof. Barbeau would be happy to receive solutions to
any problems in the regular Crux section that you
solve; be sure to send a copy of solutions you obtain to
the editor and mention that you are a student and what
your school is.
Please note the following:
Your complete name and mailing address and electronic address must appear on the first page of your solutions. If you have not already provided this information, please also give, legibly, your email address, telephone number, name, address and telephone number of your school and information about university and college courses that you have taken.
