May 1, 2025
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.

Source: Use your common sense! (enough is enough)
Some users don't want to learn, some other simply ignore advises.
But please follow the following guideline:


To make it short: ALWAYS USE YOUR COMMON SENSE IF POSTING!
If you don't have common sense, don't post.


More specifically:

For new threads:


a) Good, meaningful title:
The title has to say what the problem is about in best way possible.
If that title occured already, it's definitely bad. And contest names aren't good either.
That's in fact a requirement for being able to search old problems.

Examples:
Bad titles:
- "Hard"/"Medium"/"Easy" (if you find it so cool how hard/easy it is, tell it in the post and use a title that tells us the problem)
- "Number Theory" (hey guy, guess why this forum's named that way¿ and is it the only such problem on earth¿)
- "Fibonacci" (there are millions of Fibonacci problems out there, all posted and named the same...)
- "Chinese TST 2003" (does this say anything about the problem¿)
Good titles:
- "On divisors of a³+2b³+4c³-6abc"
- "Number of solutions to x²+y²=6z²"
- "Fibonacci numbers are never squares"


b) Use search function:
Before posting a "new" problem spend at least two, better five, minutes to look if this problem was posted before. If it was, don't repost it. If you have anything important to say on topic, post it in one of the older threads.
If the thread is locked cause of this, use search function.

Update (by Amir Hossein). The best way to search for two keywords in AoPS is to input
[code]+"first keyword" +"second keyword"[/code]
so that any post containing both strings "first word" and "second form".


c) Good problem statement:
Some recent really bad post was:
[quote]$lim_{n\to 1}^{+\infty}\frac{1}{n}-lnn$[/quote]
It contains no question and no answer.
If you do this, too, you are on the best way to get your thread deleted. Write everything clearly, define where your variables come from (and define the "natural" numbers if used). Additionally read your post at least twice before submitting. After you sent it, read it again and use the Edit-Button if necessary to correct errors.


For answers to already existing threads:


d) Of any interest and with content:
Don't post things that are more trivial than completely obvious. For example, if the question is to solve $x^{3}+y^{3}=z^{3}$, do not answer with "$x=y=z=0$ is a solution" only. Either you post any kind of proof or at least something unexpected (like "$x=1337, y=481, z=42$ is the smallest solution). Someone that does not see that $x=y=z=0$ is a solution of the above without your post is completely wrong here, this is an IMO-level forum.
Similar, posting "I have solved this problem" but not posting anything else is not welcome; it even looks that you just want to show off what a genius you are.

e) Well written and checked answers:
Like c) for new threads, check your solutions at least twice for mistakes. And after sending, read it again and use the Edit-Button if necessary to correct errors.



To repeat it: ALWAYS USE YOUR COMMON SENSE IF POSTING!


Everything definitely out of range of common sense will be locked or deleted (exept for new users having less than about 42 posts, they are newbies and need/get some time to learn).

The above rules will be applied from next monday (5. march of 2007).
Feel free to discuss on this here.

[CASH PRIZES] IndyINTEGIRLS Spring Math Competition
Indy_Integirls   12
N an hour ago by tikachaudhuri
[center]IMAGE

Greetings, AoPS! IndyINTEGIRLS will be hosting a virtual math competition on May 25,
2024 from 12 PM to 3 PM EST.
Join other woman-identifying and/or non-binary "STEMinists" in solving problems, socializing, playing games, winning prizes, and more! If you are interested in competing, please register here![/center]

----------

[center]Important Information[/center]

Eligibility: This competition is open to all woman-identifying and non-binary students in middle and high school. Non-Indiana residents and international students are welcome as well!

Format: There will be a middle school and high school division. In each separate division, there will be an individual round and a team round, where students are grouped into teams of 3-4 and collaboratively solve a set of difficult problems. There will also be a buzzer/countdown/Kahoot-style round, where students from both divisions are grouped together to compete in a MATHCOUNTS-style countdown round! There will be prizes for the top competitors in each division.

Problem Difficulty: Our amazing team of problem writers is working hard to ensure that there will be problems for problem-solvers of all levels! The middle school problems will range from MATHCOUNTS school round to AMC 10 level, while the high school problems will be for more advanced problem-solvers. The team round problems will cover various difficulty levels and are meant to be more difficult, while the countdown/buzzer/Kahoot round questions will be similar to MATHCOUNTS state to MATHCOUNTS Nationals countdown round in difficulty.

Platform: This contest will be held virtually through Zoom. All competitors are required to have their cameras turned on at all times unless they have a reason for otherwise. Proctors and volunteers will be monitoring students at all times to prevent cheating and to create a fair environment for all students.

Prizes: At this moment, prizes are TBD, and more information will be provided and attached to this post as the competition date approaches. Rest assured, IndyINTEGIRLS has historically given out very generous cash prizes, and we intend on maintaining this generosity into our Spring Competition.

Contact & Connect With Us: Follow us on Instagram @indy.integirls, join our Discord, follow us on TikTok @indy.integirls, and email us at indy@integirls.org.

[center]Help Us Out

Please help us in sharing the news of this competition! Our amazing team of officers has worked very hard to provide this educational opportunity to as many students as possible, and we would appreciate it if you could help us spread the word!

This is a very stupid question and it might be a coincidence but did any other AoPSers waiting on MOP email receive this ;-;

I got the email too but I'm not going to qualify for MOP (I failed p2 and 6), it could just be scores as it said that it arrives in a week which is typically around the scores date
Also it said the package weight is 2 pounds so it could be something else

I got the email too but I'm not going to qualify for MOP (I failed p2 and 6), it could just be scores as it said that it arrives in a week which is typically around the scores date
Also it said the package weight is 2 pounds so it could be something else
why would they send scores in a 2 pound package though

I got an email about new FedEx shipment earlier today. I never ordered anything and was pretty confused but it caught my interest because it shipped out of Elgin, IL, which is only ~15 miles from the place where MOP is taking place and was shipped directly to my name and the email I signed up to AMCs with (which I don't use for much other things).

This is a very stupid question and it might be a coincidence but did any other AoPSers waiting on MOP email receive this ;-;

I also got the email and have 0 MOP chances, so it certainly doesn't mean making MOP.

I also got the email with no MOP chances, likely swag as stated by many above.
