This text records the problems given for the first 15 annual
undergraduate mathematics competitions, held in March each year
since 2001 at the University of Toronto. Problems cover areas of
single-variable differential and integral calculus, linear
algebra, advanced algebra, analytic geometry, combinatorics,
basic group theory, and number theory. The problems of the
competitions are given in chronological order as presented to the
students. The solutions appear in subsequent chapters according
to subject matter. Appendices recall some background material and
list the names of students who did well.

The University of Toronto Undergraduate Competition was founded
to provide additional competition experience for
undergraduates preparing for the Putnam competition, and is
particularly useful for the freshman or sophomore
undergraduate. Lecturers, instructors, and coaches for
mathematics competitions will find this presentation
useful. Many of the problems are of intermediate
difficulty and relate to the first two years of the
undergraduate curriculum. The problems presented may be
particularly useful for regular class assignments.
Moreover, this text contains problems that lie outside the
regular syllabus and may interest students who are eager to
learn beyond the classroom.
