1000th Post!
PikaPika999   24
When I had less than 25 posts on AoPS, I saw many people create threads about them getting 1000th posts. I thought I would never hit 1000 posts, but here we are, this is my 1000th post.

As a lot of users like to do, I'll write my math story:

Daycare
Preschool
Kindergarten
First Grade
Second Grade
Third Grade
Fourth Grade
Fifth Grade
Sixth Grade

In conclusion, AoPS has helped me improve my math. I have also made many new friends on AoPS!

Finally, I would like to say thank you to all the new friends I made and all the instructors on AoPS that taught me!

Minor side note, but

Sum of max of some sequences is sum of powers

Source: Romanian IMO TST 1981, Day 3 P1
Consider the set $M$ of all sequences of integers $s=(s_1,\ldots,s_k)$ such that $0\leqslant s_i\leqslant n,\; i=1,2,\ldots,k$ and let $M(s)=\max\{s_1,\ldots,s_k\}$. Show that
\[\sum_{s\in A} M(s)=(n+1)^{k+1}-(1^k+2^k+\ldots +(n+1)^k).\]

Miquel-point   0
Source: RNMO SHL 2025, grade 12
Determine all finite commutative rings $A$ with at least four elements such that for every $S\subsetneq A^*=A\setminus \{0\}$ with $|S|\ge 2$ we have
\[\sum_{x\in S}x=\prod_{x\in A^*\setminus S}x.\]

Introducing myself at AoPS, and what's your magic wand?
asuth_asuth   608
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.

You have used a banned term. Please edit and resubmit.
MathWinner121   52
I have been writing a blog post and it says there is a banned term. I checked it over and nothing seems to be wrong, there is no foul language or anything. Why does it show this and am I able to access the list of banned AoPS words so I can submit the post on my blog?

guys lets vote for dark mode on aops edit:it might actually happen
kjhgyuio   21
Hey everyone,

A lot of websites and apps nowadays have a dark mode option, and I think it would be a great feature for AoPS as well. Dark mode can help reduce eye strain, especially for users who spend long hours reading and solving problems. It also makes using aops more comfortable at night and is a feature that many users prefer.

AoPS is currently taking suggestions through their Google Form, so if you’d like to see dark mode added, please consider filling it out and requesting it! The more users who ask for it, the more likely AoPS will consider adding it.

Here’s the link to the suggestion form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd7q-GIeZeab85Et3CgLCtCKYDZWa-W3rmGuk9WmIanvzLJ8w/viewform
