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.
[*]May 20th, 4:00pm PT/7:00pm ET, Mathcamp 2025 Qualifying Quiz Part 1 Math Jam, Problems 1 to 4, join the Canada/USA Mathcamp staff for this exciting Math Jam, where they discuss solutions to Problems 1 to 4 of the 2025 Mathcamp Qualifying Quiz!
[*]May 21st, 4:00pm PT/7:00pm ET, Mathcamp 2025 Qualifying Quiz Part 2 Math Jam, Problems 5 and 6, Canada/USA Mathcamp staff will discuss solutions to Problems 5 and 6 of the 2025 Mathcamp Qualifying Quiz![/list]

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.

9 best high school math competitions hosted by a college/university
ethan2011   23
N 21 minutes ago by martianrunner
I only included college-hosted comps since MAA comps are very differently formatted, and IMO would easily beat the rest on quality since mathematicians around the world give questions, and so many problems are shortlisted, so IMO does release the IMO shortlist for people to practice. I also did not include the not as prestigious ones(like BRUMO, CUBRMC, and others), since most comps with very high quality questions are more prestigious(I did include other if you really think those questions are really good).

Let $ABC$ be a right triangle with a right angle in $C$ and a circumcenter $U$. On the sides $AC$ and $BC$, the points $D$ and $E$ lie in such a way that $\angle EUD = 90 ^o$. Let $F$ and $G$ be the projection of $D$ and $E$ on $AB$, respectively. Prove that $FG$ is half as long as $AB$.

Weird FedEx Shipment?
Mathandski   29
N an hour ago by Mr.Sharkman
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 ;-;

You are invited to BROOM 2025!

You are invited to BROOM 2025!

BROOM (Building Resolve and Opportunity for Oncoming MOPpers) is a collaborative, highly intensive online math program modeled after MOP, open to students entering 9th grade and above. The program is designed by many past and current MOPpers to bring the MOP experience to everyone. It will take place from June 11th to July 2nd for 6 to 10 hours a day, with activities running in perfect parallel with MOP.

The program will include a structured schedule of student-led classes, mock tests, and community events to get to know your fellow sweepers. Just like MOP this year, there will be 3 practice tests, 2 ELMO-style tests, and 3 TSTST-style tests. Classes will range in difficulty, and more details regarding color groups and tests will be sent to students who register.

To achieve a more immersive experience, BROOM will be hosted on a Minecraft server where players can interact just like in real life, featuring classrooms for classes, lecture halls for tests, and dorms/dining halls for fun! Proximity chat will also be installed to imitate in-person conversation.

For over 150 hours of activities, the program is only $90, and financial aid is available. A copy of Minecraft will be included with your registration. Note that we do not run for profit - all funds are used for running the program itself.

Register for BROOM by June 1st! Extra details are available here. :D

I recently created a handout on modular arithmetic for a local math club. I thought it would help quite a lot with understanding basic properties, as modular arithmetic is a very popular intermediate step in number theory problems, so I decided to leave it here as a resource for anyone who needs it. Feel free to share it around, and hope it helps!

One small nitpick: You say that $a | b$ if there exists $c$ such that $\frac b a = c$. However, we say that $0 | 0$, so I think a better definition would be that there exists some $c$ such that $b = ac$.
