a My Retirement & New Leadership at AoPS
rrusczyk   1290
N a minute ago by ILikeTrains703
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

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.

Introduction & Intermediate C&P study guide!
HamstPan38825   25
N Mar 22, 2025 by Andyluo
This took me quite a while to make, but enjoy!

Introduction to C&P (suitable for AMC 8, AMC 10/12)
Chapter 1 - This is like the "introduction", which is pretty easy and is not very important.
Chapter 2 - VERY important! Study this chapter closely, as it contains techniques that will be used again and again in harder problems.
Chapter 3 - Another quite important chapter, though not as important as chapter 2. This chapter covers some of the most confusing parts in C&P and even I can't distinguish that well in that chapter.
Chapter 4 - Interesting but very basic. Not that important, really.
Chapter 5 - Another interesting chapter, which should be studied in greater detail than Chapter 4. The distinguishability section is most important here.
Chapter 6 - Not much, but attempt the problems and read the examples since many of them are very interesting.
Chapter 7 - Pretty important chapter, make sure you read all the sections but not very interesting.
Chapter 8 - Another one of the VERY important sections - make sure read this section closely and do all the problems, since I still compare apples to oranges sometimes.
Chapter 9 - Interesting, but not very important. More important is the concept to "Think About It!"
Chapter 10 - The only topic in the entire C&P series that covers Geometric Probability, this chapter doesn't go into enough detail. Read it closely to get the basics, but I'd recommend doing more practice on Geometric Probability (I'll be making a handout!)
Chapter 11 - This chapter is not really important, reference the section in Intermediate C&P for a deeper understanding of Expected value.
Chapter 12 - Pretty important chapter, study it closely as it gives you the tools to prove combinatorial identities and Pascal's triangle is quite useful.
Chapter 13 - Just get the Hockey Stick Identity - not very useful chapter. Distributions will also be covered in Intermediate C&P.
Chapter 14 - A bit important, but not very - The binomial theorem is easy to master, but if you need more practice read the section in IA.
Chapter 15 - Similar to chapter 6, read all the examples and attempt all the problems here.

AMC 10/12 Chapters: 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 15

Intermediate C&P Suitable for late AMC 12, AIME + olympiads
Chapter 1 - Review this section thoroughly though there are no exercises here.
Chapter 2 - If you've learned set theory before, this chapter should be a review, but nonetheless skim over this chapter.
Chapter 3 - ANOTHER IMPORTANT CHAPTER! PIE is very important and might be a bit complicated, so study this chapter closely.
Chapter 4 - This chapter is also quite important - Make sure you master both parts of this chapter.
Chapter 5 - A good chapter, but it's a bit too short for my liking. Read extra handouts on the Pigeonhole Principle.
Chapter 6 - Another great chapter - attempt all the problems in this chapter!
Chapter 7 - Yet another very important chapter - distributions tend to pop up all over the place. Attempt all the problems here.
Chapter 8 - This isn't really a chapter - if you've mastered Mathematical Induction, you can just skip this but I recommend doing the problems.
Chapter 9 - This is really just the introduction to Chapter 10, but nonetheless do some of the problems to get a firm recursion basis.
Chapter 10 - Another VERY IMPORTANT CHAPTER! The recursion section is more important than the Catalan Number section unless you're preparing for olympiads.
Chapter 11 - Past this chapter, the concepts start to get quite advanced. This is an interesting chapter and is quite important, so do many of the problems here.
Chapter 12 - A great chapter! This chapter is quite general, but try to learn how to prove combinatorial identities on your own.
Chapter 13 - A quite complex chapter, not that important unless you're preparing for olympiads.
Chapter 14 - A hard but great chapter! GFs are hacks to many common counting problems.
Chapter 15 - Just skip this chapter unless you're doing the Putnam or olympiads, since it's basically nonexistent in the AMC/AIMEs.
Chapter 16 - Many of the problems here are very hard, but do as much as you can here! Try to attempt every single problem though they are very hard.

AMC 12 chapters: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10
AIME chapters: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11
Olympiad chapters: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 [basically almost all of them rip]

Chapter 12 - Pretty important chapter, study it closely as it gives you the tools to prove combinatorial identities and Pascal's triangle is quite useful.
Chapter 13 - Just get the Hockey Stick Identity - not very useful chapter. Distributions will also be covered in Intermediate C&P.
Chapter 14 - A bit important, but not very - The binomial theorem is easy to master, but if you need more practice read the section in IA.
Chapter 15 - Similar to chapter 6, read all the examples and attempt all the problems here.

AMC 10/12 Chapters: 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 15

Intermediate C&P Suitable for late AMC 12, AIME + olympiads
Chapter 1 - Review this section thoroughly though there are no exercises here.
Chapter 2 - If you've learned set theory before, this chapter should be a review, but nonetheless skim over this chapter.
Chapter 3 - ANOTHER IMPORTANT CHAPTER! PIE is very important and might be a bit complicated, so study this chapter closely.
Chapter 4 - This chapter is also quite important - Make sure you master both parts of this chapter.
Chapter 5 - A good chapter, but it's a bit too short for my liking. Read extra handouts on the Pigeonhole Principle.
Chapter 6 - Another great chapter - attempt all the problems in this chapter!
Chapter 7 - Yet another very important chapter - distributions tend to pop up all over the place. Attempt all the problems here.
Chapter 8 - This isn't really a chapter - if you've mastered Mathematical Induction, you can just skip this but I recommend doing the problems.
Chapter 9 - This is really just the introduction to Chapter 10, but nonetheless do some of the problems to get a firm recursion basis.
Chapter 10 - Another VERY IMPORTANT CHAPTER! The recursion section is more important than the Catalan Number section unless you're preparing for olympiads.
Chapter 11 - Past this chapter, the concepts start to get quite advanced. This is an interesting chapter and is quite important, so do many of the problems here.
Chapter 12 - A great chapter! This chapter is quite general, but try to learn how to prove combinatorial identities on your own.
Chapter 13 - A quite complex chapter, not that important unless you're preparing for olympiads.
Chapter 14 - A hard but great chapter! GFs are hacks to many common counting problems.
Chapter 15 - Just skip this chapter unless you're doing the Putnam or olympiads, since it's basically nonexistent in the AMC/AIMEs.
Chapter 16 - Many of the problems here are very hard, but do as much as you can here! Try to attempt every single problem though they are very hard.

AMC 12 chapters: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10
AIME chapters: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11
Olympiad chapters: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 [basically almost all of them rip]

Are you sure you are qualified to write the study guide for Intermediate C&P?

It might be helpful to actually state what each chapter is about.

@ilovepizza2020 They haven't finished taking the Int C&P class yet (only on week 10, I know since I'm in their class), so probably not qualified for Int C&P. I don't know about Intro though.

Intro or intermediate? Cause Intro and Intermediate both start with int

i assume given they're taking intermediate they're qualified for intro

I've done the entire book though. Didn't do a lot of the problems, but I have a pretty good idea about each chapter.

Dude this is what I say to my parents and what do they say? They say:"You have to do it, not just say you know it."

So can you actually solve like 50% of the challenge problems in each chapter?

I wouldn't go as far to say I've mastered it, or even as far as I have a solid understanding of it. Intermediate C&P is hard. But what I know is sufficient to lead others on a skeletal plan, not a very detailed guide. [And I have finished every single problem in Chapters 1-6....]

Yeah, making this guide isn't hard. I'm also on Week 10 of Intermediate C&P, and I think I'd be able to make this guide. I don't really have time to work out all the exercises in the book, but I certainly read the material and understand it, just like HamstPan. He should be qualified.

Honestly, Intro to Geo wasn't as hard as people made it out to be.

Agreed, only week 24 was hard because of that one precalc problem.

I mean the whole point of the 3D geo section was to take cross sections and use Pythagorean theorem.

Yes but I'm bad at visualizing cross-sections. And curved surfaces are confusing for me.
