The Art of Problem Solving Bookstore now offers two titles from the creator of Math Olympiads in the Elementary and Middle Schools. Click here and here to check them out.

Math Jams are free online classes hosted by Art of Problem Solving for a variety of purposes. Some Math Jams are improvisational problem solving sessions, some are informational sessions about prominent programs, or college admissions, or other topics of interest to our students. Other Math Jams include reviews of major contests, such as the USAMTS or the AMC series of tests. Instructors employ the same Virtual Classroom for the Math Jams as used in our more structured online classes.

Participants must be logged in as Art of Problem Solving Community members to access the Math Jams. Click here to login or set up a new account. The Math Jams and Community membership are free.
