Book for Math Olympiad


I'm not a natural at math, but I study a lot of it.
So I needed something to prepare me for the math olympiads and competitions.

Needed comments on this book for preparation:

Elementary Number Theory by Gareth Jones.

Going through the index it looks like they have covered the important topics for introductory number theory. You might want to check out a book on problem solving like Principles of Math Problem Solving by Erickson/Flowers or anything with lots of problems and examples that you can practice with
