Check out the details at this link for all our WOOT programs in math, computer science, chemistry, and physics.

Looking for summer camps in math and language arts? Be sure to check out the video-based summer camps offered at the Virtual Campus that are 2- to 4-weeks in duration. There are middle and high school competition math camps as well as Math Beasts camps that review key topics coupled with fun explorations covering areas such as graph theory (Math Beasts Camp 6), cryptography (Math Beasts Camp 7-8), and topology (Math Beasts Camp 8-9)!

Be sure to mark your calendars for the following events:
[list][*]April 3rd (Webinar), 4pm PT/7:00pm ET, Learning with AoPS: Perspectives from a Parent, Math Camp Instructor, and University Professor

Happy New Year!
To celebrate the start of 2024, I've decided to put up a few facts about the year. I don't have many, so y'all should also

(1 and 2 are the same :sob: just distribute)

Post more cool facts here! Keep a running chain with quote boxes for facts. (I don't know if this technically qualifies as a marathon, but I hope this is allowed lol)

Bogus Proof Marathon

pifinity 7558

Hi!
I'd like to introduce the Bogus Proof Marathon.

In this marathon, simply post a bogus proof that is middle-school level and the next person will find the error. You don't have to post the real solution :P

Use classic Marathon format:

[hide=P#]a1b2c3[/hide]
[hide=S#]a1b2c3[/hide]

Example posts:

P(x)
-----
S(x)
P(x+1)

Let's go!! Just don't make it too hard!

Alpha says, "Delta is the same kind of fish as I am.''
Beta says, "Epsilon and Zeta are different from each other.''
Gamma says, "Alpha is a flounder or Beta is a trout.''

Hello AoPS!

Along with user geodash2, I have organized another high-school integration bee (River Hill High School Spring Integration Bee) and wanted to share the problems!

We had enough folks for two concurrent rooms, hence the two sets. (ARML kids from across the county came.)

Keep in mind that these integrals were written for a high-school contest-math audience. I hope you find them enjoyable and insightful; enjoy!

Periodic functions (Romania 1996)

Filipjack 1

Source: Romanian National Olympiad 1996 – Grade 11 – Problem 2

a) Let $f_1,f_2,\ldots,f_n: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ be periodic functions such that the function $f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R},$ $f=f_1+f_2+\ldots+f_n$ has finite limit at $\infty.$ Prove that $f$ is constant.

b) If $a_1,a_2,a_3$ are real numbers such that $a_1 \cos(a_1x) + a_2 \cos (a_2x) + a_3 \cos(a_3x) \ge 0$ for every $x \in \mathbb{R},$ then $a_1a_2a_3=0.$

Introducing myself at AoPS, and what's your magic wand?

asuth_asuth 788

Hi!

I'm Andrew Sutherland. I'm the new Chief Product Officer at AoPS. As you may have read, Richard is retiring and Ben Kornell and I are working together to lead the company now. I'm leading all the software and digital stuff at AoPS. I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself! I'm really excited to be part of the special community that is AoPS.

Previously, I founded Quizlet as a 15-year-old high school student. I did Course 6 at MIT and then left to lead Quizlet full-time for a total of 14 years. I took a few years off and now I'm doing AoPS! I wrote more about all that on my blog: https://asuth.com/im-joining-aops

I have a question for all of you. If you could wave a magic wand, and change anything about AoPS, what would it be? All suggestions welcome! Thank you.
