Special AIME Problem Seminar B

This class is a special 5-hour weekend seminar to prepare for the AIME, which is the second in the series of tests used to determine the United States team at the International Math Olympiad. Many top colleges also request AIME scores as part of the college application process. In this course, students learn problem solving strategies and test-taking tactics relevant to the AIME. The course also includes a practice AIME test.

Who Should Take?

This class is appropriate for students who are hoping to pass the AIME. If a student already consistently scores above 10 on the AIME, this class is probably not necessary, and if a student is unlikely to answer more than 1 or 2 questions correctly, then that student should start with some of our Introduction series of classes. The material for this class is distinct from the Special AIME Problem Seminar A.

Lessons

Lesson 1 Algebra and Counting
Lesson 2 Number Theory and Geometry

By any metric, the course is an overwhelming success. We were immensely lucky to have these incredibly passionate instructors teach this class. By having different presenters teach different topics, you all capture the beautiful diversity of chemistry and optimize the expertise with which it is revealed. When a student asks a question, we have a panel of world-class experts ready to contribute--and argue about--an explanation. This concordance of expertise is immensely powerful. The class topics are fresh, fascinating, and relevant. The peer group is phenomenal - ChemWOOT is like a reaction chamber of some of the most motivated chemistry students in the country. That's powerful. This class has been simply fantastic.
