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:

hi guys, does anyone have book recs (or other resources) for like aime+ level alg, nt, geo, comb? i want to learn a lot of theory in depth
also does anyone know how otis or woot is like from experience?
hi all! I know pretty much all of the basic high school algebra upto 11th grade- quadratics, solving equations, matrices nd determinants, etc. I was looking for book recs or handouts on polynomials, but pls know that I have no previous experience whatsoever in olympiad algebra. I did try from an excursion in mathematics but couldn't really approach the problems. any help would be rlly appreciated.

Find the exact value of the continued fraction
I know that it is approximately but I am looking for the exact value. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Points and are in the coordinate plane such that . Let denote the locus of all points in the coordinate plane satisfying , and let be the midpoint of . Points and are on such that and . The value of can be expressed in the form , where and are relatively prime positive integers. Find .
knights and jokers are to be seated around a round table. They randomly pick the particular seats they want to sit at. What's the probability they'd be seated alternately? sol
what I did
The problem was solved with the idea that knight was already seated at the table so we don't have to take into account of the rotations if they were seated alternately. Though my solution does take into account of the different rotations of the knights and jokers.
Is there something wrong with how I solved the problem with my method or is it that we can't use my method at all (if so why)?
I want to represent a decimal number using an unconventional base (-4) numeral system, and I wish to prove the uniqueness and existence of this representation.
Let n be a positive integer. Consider 2n+1 distinct positive integers whose total sum is less than (n+1)(3n+1). Prove that among these 2n+1 numbers, there exist two numbers whose sum is 2n+1.
