There are many countries around the world that hold Mathematics Competitions. The Competitions are extremely interesting since many professors try to create new interesting problems. If you want to take part in these competitions, you have to solve many problems. That means you must master your problem-solving skills. Challenging Problems from Around the World Vol 2 is a selected problem book. This book has only two chapters. The first chapter of this book is a collection of problems. We select many good problems from different sources. Most of them used to appear in Mathematics Competitions. In this part, we want the readers try their best to solve the problems. Remember that only a few people can solve all problems in this book. So, do not be up set if you cannot solve some problems. Even we cannot solve problems, we still gain some techniques in solving problems. The readers should keep in mind that the only way in learning Mathematics is to do Mathematics. The second chapter of this book was written about the solution to each problem that listed in the first chapter. We try to solve the problems step by step. We believe that the solutions will help the readers to understand well. Reading through this part, we hope the readers will learn many problem-solving strategies. Let this book be your close friend when you learn about Mathematics. We hope the readers have a great journey in reading this book. Richard S.Hammond

Most students have struggled with the concept of how to learn Mathematics. They find it too hard to study lessons. They cannot learn it. Sometimes, they feel like nothing is difficult than Mathematics. Is it real? In fact, Mathematics is an easy subject if you know how to learn it. A technique to learn Mathematics is self-studying. There are a lot of strategies in doing Mathematics self-learning. I am going to show you a wonderful strategy here. There are three important tools that you must know to improve your math skill; they are mastering basic concepts, choosing suitable books and learning mathematics meaning. Mastering basic concepts is the first tool that you have to learn. We cannot understand something deeply if we have no basic concepts or our basic concepts is not completely developed. In addition, thinking can process if only there are basic concepts. Likewise, when we learn mathematics, we have to think. If we have no basic concepts, we cannot process our thinking. For example, before we learn to multiple numbers, we have to understand how to sum numbers. If we have no concepts in summing numbers, we will not understand about how to multiple numbers. How to compute 7 times 4 7×4 = 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 From the above illustration, we can conclude that the basic of multiplication is summation. Consequently, we will find it hard to understand about math lessons. In addition, it can lead us to be stressful and feeling tired. The last, we will give it up. Choosing suitable books is also a potential tool for self-studying. Firstly, you have to understand what level you are in. I also want to mention that it is not the level that you learn at school but your brain level. Sometimes the level of the class does not match with students'' brain levels. For example, some students study in grade 12 but their brain levels in mathematics is grade 9 or lower. So, you should know yourself. There are a lot of Mathematics that you can find it at Bookshops, Amazon, etc. You should buy books from different authors because they will provide you different techniques in Mathematics. If it is not enough, you can find more on the Internet. There are a lot of great books and wonderful techniques there. The last thing is learning Mathematics meaning. Mathematics symbols are not important but the most important is its meaning. Don''t read the symbol but read mathematics meaning. For example, the mathematics meaning of the symbol 1+2+...+n=n(n+1)/2 is the sum of numbers from 1 to n is equal to half of the multiple of n and n+1. Learning Mathematics meaning helps us to understand and remember in long terms. In addition, we can apply what we have solved in some problems. Sometimes, Mathematics meaning helps us to explain about life. This reason leads mathematics to be a wonderful subject. Moreover, if we don''t know about mathematics meaning, we will spend a lot of times with mathematics but gain a little knowledge from it. It can lead us to be tired with it.

Flat roof surfaces represent a significant proportion of urban areas and perform a variety of functions for buildings, with a corresponding variety of impacts on the urban environment and its infrastructure. One of the most important flat roof functions is the collection and discharge of rainwater, which especially during storms has a substantial impact on municipal sewer systems and the water bodies into which they discharge. The use of vegetated, or ''green'', roofs has become a prevalent strategy for mitigating the impacts of stormwater runoff from flat roof surfaces in urban areas, including in Canadian cities, and has received a significant amount of research attention. There is also a variety of ''blue'' roof strategies that involve detention or retention of rainwater, either on roof surfaces or in cisterns. These approaches have received considerably less research attention, particularly for large buildings. This study compares the performance of green and blue roof systems, based on their effectiveness as stormwater management strategies, as well as their life cycle energy, carbon dioxide, and economic impacts. The more qualitative attributes of green and blue roofs are also explored, as well as their compatibility with other rooftop technologies including solar photovoltaic panels, solar thermal hot water heating systems, and high albedo membranes. In this context, the apparently under-appreciated opportunities for rainwater harvesting and reuse inside buildings are examined for a variety of large building types in three Canadian cities with different climatic conditions: Calgary, Alberta, London, Ontario, and Halifax, Nova Scotia. From this investigation, recommended decision criteria are developed for the selection of the most appropriate green or blue roof strategies depending on the characteristics of a particular building project, including its size, occupancy, geographic location, and urban context. Limitations of this study''s methods, as well as issues in need of further research, are also discussed.
