Our Worldwide Online Olympiad Training program is for high school level competitors. AoPS designed these courses to help our top students get the deep focus they need to succeed in their specific competition goals. 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:

Introducing myself at AoPS, and what's your magic wand?
asuth_asuth   723
N 40 minutes ago by onyates
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.

Let \( f \) be a function which is continuous on \( [0,1] \) and differentiable on \( (0,1) \), with \( f(0) = f(1) = 0 \). Assume that there is some \( c \in (0,1) \) such that \( f(c) = 1 \). Prove that there exists some \( x_0 \in (0,1) \) such that \( |f'(x_0)| > 2 \).

Permutation polynomial

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Prove that $f=x^3+x$ is a permutation polynomial mod $n$ iff $n$ is a power of 3.
Note: we call $f$ a permutation polynomial mod $n$ iff the induced map $f:Z_n\rightarrow Z_n$ is bijective.

If $f$ an endomorphism of a vector space V with dimension $n$ satisfy $f^2=f$ with $r=r(f)=dim(Im f)$
Prove that there exists a basis of V $(v_1,\ldots ,v_n)$ such that
$f(v_i)=v_i , i\leq r$ and $f(v_i)=0 , i>r$
And find the matrix of $f$ in the basis $(v_1,\ldots ,v_n)$

Two circles and Three line concurrency
mofidy   0
Today at 4:36 AM
Two circles $W_1$ and $W_2$ with equal radii intersect at P and Q. Points B and C are located on the circles$W_1$ and $W_2$ so that they are inside the circles $W_2$ and $W_1$, respectively. Also, points X and Y distinct from P are located on $W_1$ and $W_2$, respectively, so that:
$$\angle{CPQ} = \angle{CXQ}  \text{ and } \angle{BPQ} = \angle{BYQ}.$$The intersection point of the circumcircles of triangles XPC and YPB is called S. Prove that BC, XY and QS are concurrent.
Thanks.
