May is an exciting month! National MATHCOUNTS is the second week of May in Washington D.C. and our Founder, Richard Rusczyk will be presenting a seminar, Preparing Strong Math Students for College and Careers, on May 11th.
Are you interested in working towards MATHCOUNTS and don’t know where to start? We have you covered! If you have taken Prealgebra, then you are ready for MATHCOUNTS/AMC 8 Basics. Already aiming for State or National MATHCOUNTS and harder AMC 8 problems? Then our MATHCOUNTS/AMC 8 Advanced course is for you.
Summer camps are starting next month at the Virtual Campus in math and language arts that are 2 - to 4 - weeks in duration. Spaces are still available - don’t miss your chance to have an enriching summer experience. 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 upcoming events:
[list][*]May 9th, 4:30pm PT/7:30pm ET, Casework 2: Overwhelming Evidence — A Text Adventure, a game where participants will work together to navigate the map, solve puzzles, and win! All are welcome.
[*]May 19th, 4:30pm PT/7:30pm ET, What's Next After Beast Academy?, designed for students finishing Beast Academy and ready for Prealgebra 1.

For given M
h(n) is defined as the number of which is relatively prime with M, and 1 or more and n or less.
As B is h(M)/M, prove that there are at least M/3 or more N such that satisfying the below inequality
|h(N)-BN| is under 1+sqrt(B×2^((the number of prime factor of M)-3))
Given an n x n chessboard, with a king starting at any square, the king's task is to visit each square in the board exactly once (essentially an open path); this king moves how a king in chess would.
However, we are allowed to place k numbers on the board of any value such that for each number A we placed on the board, the king must be in the position of that number A on its Ath square in its journey, with the starting square as its 1st square.
Suppose after we placed k numbers, there is one and only one way to complete the king's task (this includes placing the king in a starting square), find the minimum value of k set by n.
Didn't know I could post it here xd; I'm unsure how hard this question could be.
1. Do you think isogonal conjugates should be renamed to angular conjugates?
2. Do you think isotomic conjugates should be renamed to cevian conjugates?
Three squares are drawn on the sides of triangle (i.e., the square on has as one of its sides and lies outside ). Show that the lines drawn from the vertices ,, and to the centers of the opposite squares are concurrent.
The following is the construction of the twindragon fractal.
Let be the solid square region with vertices at
Recursively, the region consists of two copies of : one copy which is rotated counterclockwise around the origin and scaled by a factor of , and another copy which is also rotated counterclockwise around the origin and scaled by a factor of , and then translated by .
We have displayed and below.
Let be the limiting region of the sequence .
The area of the smallest convex polygon which encloses can be written as for relatively prime positive integers and . Find .
