a My Retirement & New Leadership at AoPS
rrusczyk   998
N a few seconds ago by MC24
I write today to announce my retirement as CEO from Art of Problem Solving. When I founded AoPS 22 years ago, I never imagined that we would reach so many students and families, or that we would find so many channels through which we discover, inspire, and train the great problem solvers of the next generation. I am very proud of all we have accomplished and I’m thankful for the many supporters who provided inspiration and encouragement along the way. I'm particularly grateful to all of the wonderful members of the AoPS Community!

I’m delighted to introduce our new leaders - Ben Kornell and Andrew Sutherland. Ben has extensive experience in education and edtech prior to joining AoPS as my successor as CEO, including starting like I did as a classroom teacher. He has a deep understanding of the value of our work because he’s an AoPS parent! Meanwhile, Andrew and I have common roots as founders of education companies; he launched Quizlet at age 15! His journey from founder to MIT to technology and product leader as our Chief Product Officer traces a pathway many of our students will follow in the years to come.

Thank you again for your support for Art of Problem Solving and we look forward to working with millions more wonderful problem solvers in the years to come.

And special thanks to all of the amazing AoPS team members who have helped build AoPS. We’ve come a long way from here:IMAGE

Request for Clarification on Post Removal
merit2023   0
11 minutes ago
Hi Mods,

Could you please let me know why my replies about leaks were removed? Were there any inappropriate words in my response? I spent a valuable hour of my time writing those replies, and I find it frustrating that only the post supporting MAA was kept while all other perspectives were removed.

Is the goal to turn this forum into a sinking ship, just like MAA? Why can't people express their honest opinions on this critical issue and push for much-needed change?

I understand that my post may be removed again, but I would appreciate a reasonable explanation—either here or via PM.

Thank you!

Well, AMC's are in 4 months. Would you like to prepare with a mock test written and tested by JMO and Mathcounts National Countdown Round Qualifiers? Well, take the VENAMC 10+2!
If you're wondering, VENAMC 10+2: Very Exciting New American Mathematics Competition written by the VEN comittee: Problem Writers and Test Solvers/Testers(you may see them on the leaderboard). We had the 10+2 because while the difficulty is probably harder than AMC 12, there is no precalculus.
