SMO solution book (yearly issues)
For Secondary and Junior College level students

The following books are published each year after the Singapore Mathematical Olympiad (SMO) for the current year has taken place. We have included all the questions and their detailed solutions (as well as useful comments) of the competition in the title. The aim of the publication is three-fold. Firstly, it makes available solutions and comments of the current year's competitions to the participants who are keen to find out the correct answers and workings to the problems. Secondly, it serves as a guideline and exercise for students who are preparing for future competitions. Lastly, it introduces students to challenging mathematical problems not normally encountered in classrooms.
