Problems 1–24 were all taken from problems originally appearing in The Ideas of Algebra, K–12, the 1988 NCTM Yearbook (Reston, Va.: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 1988). The problems were supplied by Terry Goodman, Central Missouri State University, Warrensburg, and Martin Cohen, University of Pittsburgh. Problems 25 and 26 came from the Math Forum Problems of the Week available at www.mathforum.org. Problems 27–29 originally appeared on the 2003 AMC12 examination, sponsored by American Mathematical Competitions (Web site www.unl.edu/amc).
