"I liked this class because it taught me a lot of things that I didn't have the opportunity to learn in school. I learned a lot from it and I definitely think that this knowledge will help me in the future!"
"This was the best math course I have ever taken. I have always been very strong in math and have taken many challenging courses. Intermediate Algebra challenged me at a greater level. Writing problems are the main way that Intermediate Algebra challenged me at a new level. If I had not taken this course, I never would have known the complex proof methods I have learned. The writing problems have also made me more prepared to succeed at contests like the Mandelbrot Competition and the USAMO, as I have learned proof-writing strategies. I always like to know a lot about topics, especially topics that I have a passion for, like math. Intermediate Algebra fulfilled that desire. This was also a great help for preparing for contests like the AMC 12. All in all, this was an excellent course."
"This course was awesome! I learned lots of material from complex numbers to inequalities. Every class challenged me thoroughly, but not so much that I had no idea what was going on. All in all, this class was extremely fun and interesting and it has helped me a lot."
"As the first online course I've ever taken, I can say without doubt that it has been a tremendously great experience. I know that a lot people that took Intro to Number Theory were still in grade school, but taking it as a senior in high school, I still feel challenged and frankly I don't feel the same kind of embarrassment I feel in a normal classroom when I don't understand the material or want to ask a question. The instructor was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the subject which made it all the more motivating to learn. Props to AoPS for such excellent classes!"
"I really liked this course because the approach to math was much more interesting than in school. The explanations were thorough. I liked that the course touched on a lot of different topics that are based more on logic and applying concepts we have already learned. Also, the online classroom idea is more convenient than attending an actual class. This was my first course, but I will want to do more now."
"This was a really awesome and fun programming class. I started from point zero and now I have started to love programming so much! I didn't know anything about programming, and now I feel more confident about my knowledge in that area. So thank you, AoPS, for helping me foster a newborn love for programming and teaching me so much about Python in a super fun way."
"It was very helpful for the instructors to give advice on how to attack the problems. The problems were a bit challenging which was just fine. Overall, I really liked the class and found it very helpful."
"This course was definitely one of the most challenging but rewarding courses I've taken. It pushed me to think beyond my limits which is something school has never been able to truly accomplish for me in the math field. It also included very nice explanations that helped me learn a lot. I will definitely put this knowledge to good use! Thanks!"
"I had so much fun in this class! It was BY FAR my favorite class this semester! I think it was very informative and really interesting and I would highly (very, very, very highly) recommend this class to anybody with no hesitation!"
"I liked this class. The concepts seemed interesting and new and much better than what I would learn in school. I learned a lot about combinations and how they work. I really enjoyed this class."
"This is a course that never runs out of interesting problems to tackle and goes far beyond other Algebra 2 courses I've seen in the past."
"This course was both the hardest and the most fun math class I have ever taken. I learned many problem-solving strategies that I hadn't been using before, and now, I feel one step closer to my AMC and AIME goals. Thanks a lot for this course!"
"I really enjoyed the course! Most of the problems were quite challenging, but I understood them. I really think I got better at problem solving after this course."
"The most awesome class ever. It even displaces Geometry, my previous favorite. I absolutely loved it."
"As someone who is a first-time olympiad taker, WOOT was very helpful. I was introduced to using general techniques like induction, which was very helpful to me. I have also learned subject-specific methods for solving problems, such as, for instance, the nine-point circle. The practice olympiads and AIMEs were very helpful, especially the olympiad, where I got to try solve original olympiad problems that I didn't see a few months ago on the forums. The feedback was also very helpful, giving me advice on how to present my solutions and word my arguments. Overall, I am very impressed with WOOT. I will definitely be taking it in future years to broaden my mathematical knowledge and improve my problem solving skills. Thank you all for the wonderful experience!"
"I really enjoyed this class. While taking WOOT, I learned about several interesting areas that I had not previously studied, including functional equations, generating functions, vectors/complex numbers, and convexity. The feedback from the practice Olympiads was useful in that it told me exactly where my solutions failed so I could investigate how to fix them. However, I feel that the most valuable aspect of this class was the problems. WOOT had few problems that could be solved immediately with a standard procedure; instead, the problems took some time to solve, challenging me to consider many solution methods before I found the one that worked."
"I really enjoyed the material covered in this class. I not only learned how to do a variety of problems,but also I discovered quicker methods of solving problems I already knew how to do. I also was thrilled by the difficulty on these problems; in most other non-AOPS courses I get problems that I can do in 2 seconds. Another thing I found fantastic is that the course instructors answered all of my problems,questions,and concerns."
"WOOT was a very interesting and helpful experience. The classes, handouts, and problem sets were top notch. Overall this is the best mathematics class I have taken, in terms of what I learned, the peer group I had, and the pure enjoyment I experienced. Thank you."
"Overall, the course was excellent and I learned a lot. The textbook was awesome. The problems given in Alcumus and in the challenge set were fun to work on and helped me to understand the math concepts covered in the class. Each problem given was so unique (and sometimes even hilarious) that it tested my understanding of the concepts in completely different ways each time."
"I really enjoyed the challenge, and for some parts, I didn't want to stop practicing. The problems that were hard gave me a new sort of challenge that I hadn't had before. Sometimes I didn't understand some things, but I asked some questions and it cleared it up so that I understood. I really like my teachers, and I liked the fact that I was able to ask questions and get them answered, whether I didn't understand something or whether I had a question concerning the concept. I really enjoyed this class!"
"I have learned a lot in every Art of Problem Solving class I've ever taken, and this one was no exception. I love the style of learning, and the teachers are very helpful and extremely well qualified."
"I really enjoyed this course. It was at the perfect level of challenge for me, and I learned a lot (and had fun!). I love the amount of detail that is put into the course. I think the amount of homework was just right, enough to cement in the knowledge without any busywork."
"I really enjoyed taking the MATHCOUNTS/AMC 8 Advanced course and I definitely learned a lot. I was taught skills/tricks that could apply to several problems and therefore help me in math contests, rather than being told how to solve a specific problem only. I liked how there were several assistant teachers as well who answered my questions if I wasn't able to follow the class for a particular problem."
"The class gave me an excellent understanding of what was covered in the course, especially functions and parabolas. The methods that this class used has brought me very far in my mathematical knowledge. Compared to even the one of the best private schools in my city, this class is ridiculously far ahead of the other math courses. I would recommend this to anyone who has an urge to know more about algebra."
"This class [WOOT] was perfect. I learned so much and I am a level higher in my problem solving ability. You guys are doing the community and students an invaluable service with your books and classes, and because of AoPS you have created a whole entire new culture of math problem solvers. Thank you, and KEEP IT UP!"
"I found WOOT extremely helpful during my first year of taking AMCs and AIME, and my qualification for USAJMO is largely due to WOOT. WOOT is great (and challenging) for students trying to cross the barrier between computational math and olympiad math. The instructors are experienced and able to help students at all levels. I will definitely be taking WOOT next year."
"I really enjoyed this class! This online classroom provided all of the clarification I needed for Prealgebra. The challenge problems had me actually thinking and Alcumus really helped me practice the strategies that I was taught. I learned many, MANY things this year and I now understand things that I never understood before. The classes were very fun and engaging and went at the perfect pace. I also enjoyed having the transcripts to refer to when I had to miss a class or was in need of rereading some information that I'd forgotten. All in all, this was a SUPER great class and I am looking forward to joining Prealgebra 2!"
"I enjoyed taking this class and definitely think that it will improve my AIME score. I really liked how the teacher was able to incorporate problem solving strategy into each problem and teach us general methods of approach. "
"Great course. As a senior in high school I decided to take this course as I had never been exposed to math that required problem solving in my education, let alone discrete math. With this class I went from almost no discrete math knowledge (and commensurately poor problem solving skills) to a place where I will be taking the 400-level combinatorics sequence at my University in a few months and have had concurrent improvement in my problem solving ability."
"I really enjoyed this course...I don't think any other Algebra 1 would have kept me as busy and challenged as this one."
"I really enjoyed this course. The class was very fun, with wacky and sometimes unusual problems. It was a nice class with many real world situations that are harder than they may seem. It was certainly challenging but very fun."
"Intermediate Algebra has been an excellent course! The class has been extremely fun and challenging, and it is amazing how much material we have covered in this amount of time! To have a great group of peers to communicate with in class and on the message board is awesome! As a homeschool student, I use Art of Problem Solving online classes as my math curriculum, and I am truly grateful to have such a great resource for my education. AoPS rocks!"
"I have loved every Art of Problem Solving course I have ever taken, but this one may have been my favorite of all. Every week, I learned many new concepts, and Counting & Probability turned from my least favorite area of math to one of my favorites. The instructor was very knowledgeable and helpful. I look forward to taking more Art of Problem Solving classes in the future!"
"I think this course was really fun and challenging. I learned a lot, and really boosted my counting skills. I saw many cool topics, and loved it. Thanks AoPS!"
"I have loved all the Art of Problem Solving courses that I've taken in the past, and this one was no exception. The instructor was very knowledgeable and fun to work with, and I learned many new concepts every week. It is a great privilege to take these classes; Art of Problem Solving has truly changed my life."
"Thank you a lot for all that you taught me! I like the format of the classes and also the good amount of time to do our problem sets. This was a great experience!"
"This class significantly improved my problem solving skills and my knowledge of math in general."
"The best course I have ever taken is WOOT. I learned many new things which I hadn't even heard about before this course. WOOT had helped me a lot on my way to Olympiads. Thanks a lot!"
"I loved this class and learned a lot! I was overjoyed to find a class that challenged me so much but was still manageable!"
"I can say the class has prepared me substantially for mathematical studies and competitions in the future and provided a well-constructed introduction to higher-level algebra. I enjoyed interacting with the teacher on an intellectual level while he taught the class in an fun and creative way. In addition, the challenging problems students received weekly to complete as homework enhanced our problem solving skills. Overall, this class has been an amazing experience for me, and I can't wait to see what AoPS has in store next!"
"I really like this course. It provided lots of information, but AoPS didn't present it like other math teachers who just shove worksheets under your nose. We took our time, and I understood everything. "
"This class was not only very educational but also extremely interesting. The instructors were incredible, and the concepts covered were very useful."
"The class was very interesting and informative. I would recommend this to any aspiring problem solver."
"Learning programming with these teachers really helped me and sparked my interest in the field. Thanks so much to them for being amazing teachers!"
"The class was splendid and I learned a lot. At first I thought that it was going to be easy because I had already learned the topics; however, the problems turned out to be hard and I learned a lot of cool problem-solving techniques and tricks. I also learned to think critically. Overall, I had loads of fun learning math."
"This class was awesome! My favorite subject is C&P, and this class taught me so much about it! From what I've seen, competitions like the USAMO usually have at least one problem about C&P on them, so this material will help me a lot. Overall, this class was fantastic!"
"In general, I benefited a lot from this class. I was exposed to new topic matter and learned plenty of new information that is sure to aid me in future math competitions and endeavors."
"This class was highly engaging and challenging. I appreciated the varied problem types, ranging from word problems to proofs to algebraic manipulations. I also appreciated the clear explanations given in class."
"I love how much content we are able to cover in this course! I also love the problem sets, which are fun exercises, and sometimes just food-for-thought (only when they stump me, of course). All in all, I really love this class. It opened a whole new door for me in the chemistry field and increased my eagerness to study further into the general area of chemistry."
"I am so glad I decided to take a class here. I learned more than my school could ever get to in 3 years. I hope that you guys continue to make this program."
"I loved this class. Thank you. It helped me so much. Keep it up!"
"This class was great! I enjoyed it immensely. I had a great time and learned a lot. The selection of problems was diverse and interesting and the teachers were very helpful. Thanks for a great class!"
"After taking this class, I am solving AIME-IMO Number Theory Problems. This class really builds the foundations necessary for Olympiad Number Theory problems. It is also very problem-solving oriented which is great. I've learned so much from this class; Keep up the great work AoPS!"
"This is the first AoPS course I've ever taken, and I absolutely loved it. Definitely will be taking more classes here. This is the best math program I've ever had. It's very challenging but also very fun."
"I really enjoyed taking this course. I learned a lot, and the class was very well-taught."
"I really enjoyed this class. I love Algebra and learned a ton. This course went well beyond anything that would ever be offered in my school's wildest dreams."
"I liked the class a lot! It was lots of fun learning from the instructor and his assistants. I learned much more than I thought was possible on an online course. I feel really confident about my Algebra skills now!"
"This was the first AoPS class I have taken, and I feel like it was lots of fun and the instructor was very helpful without giving away too many hints. The class also opened my eyes up to a lot of new possibilities and kind of made me feel very small in the sense that there is a vast amount of problem solving techniques and mathematics branches that I have yet to even hear about, much less learn or master. It was also my first online class, and I loved the flexibility it gave me in doing homework and keeping up with class."
"I really enjoyed this class. I think it was very fun and I learned a lot of new stuff in this class, especially in the last few weeks. Our teacher was very funny and made the class very interesting. Overall, I think this class was a very fun and great class. Thank you!"
"Overall a fantastic course! The instructors were very responsive and personable. Absolutely fantastic."
"This course was very helpful, and it was a great way to learn geometry. I had a lot of fun doing the problem sets and in class. Some of the problems were very challenging but it was very satisfying if I was able to solve them. I am very glad I took this course and am excited to move on to other math next year."
"The problems covered did a good job of illustrating common techniques. The explanations were very clear. I especially enjoyed how rigorous the solutions given were (e.g. the instructor would ask us to prove that the locus in a certain case is a circle rather than just telling us it is a circle). Thanks to this course, I've seen large improvements in my AIME problem solving ability, especially in counting and probability and geometry."
"The topics were interesting, the problems were challenging and fun, and the teachers and graders were a big help."
"I really enjoyed taking my first AoPS class. I always thought that online classes weren't very good. I was mistaken after I took this class. Not only did Introduction to Geometry help me become a better math student, it also helped me to think more abstractly and look for multiple roads to solve a problem. I enjoy the way the classroom is run and the pace was very nice. The class wasn’t boring at all. This class challenged me to become a better thinker and was way more challenging than regular school courses. I am also very glad that AoPS also included a little bit of a social aspect to math with the message boards. I made a lot of friends through this course. In school, I am always made fun of for being ahead of all of the other students. On AoPS I actually feel accepted for once because I can interact with kids that are more advanced than I am and also I learn from them. I will definitely take another AoPS class."
"This class was extremely challenging, but fun. Many of the techniques were new to me, and I learned a lot from this class."
"This was a great class, and I think of all the courses I'm taking at AoPS, it will be the most valuable. All of the material is foundational for the study of higher math, and I feel that I have a strong beginning as I continue on in my studies."
"This class was amazing! It was definitely one of the most interesting math classes I've ever taken. It was actually challenging (and I like a challenge). The problems in general did get harder as the course continued which I liked a lot since it really does help you become a better problem solver. I learned so much and much more than just theory. This class was always fun and challenging and it definitely builds confidence for attacking harder problems. I'm so glad I took this class. AoPS, I love you guys. You're awesome!"
"This course was awesome!!! It makes me feel I'm ready to take the AMC 8. Thank you AoPS for your amazing class."
"Very nice class and nice explanations! I liked how the instructors went through their thinking process, without just showing the solution."
"Not only did Introduction to Geometry help me become a better math student, it also helped me to think more abstractly and look for multiple roads to solve a problem. This class challenged me to become a better thinker."
"This course has given me a confidence in math that I have never before had in my life. While I do have to admit that I have been pushed over and over again to the peak of my mathematical ability, I have also begun to see math, particularly geometry, as more of an art that I have begun to enjoy more and more."
"This has probably been the best AoPS class I've had. It was the most challenging, but the instructor was a great teacher. He gave good explanations and I was able to understand the concepts, which has been a challenge for me with geometry. Overall, it was a great class."
"I liked the way my instructor presented and taught all the topics in this course. I feel that the challenge problems were truly challenging. They really kept me thinking about how many different ways I can come up with a solution. One main thing that I have improved during this course was learning how to write a detailed explanation under the writing challenge problem. The elaborate feedback that I received for the writing challenge problem was helpful and I was able to find an easier way to do the problem. I also learned how to use LaTeX. Overall I can't explain in words how much I truly enjoyed this course."
"I cannot express how thankful I am for this course. I LOVED it! I had so much fun, and I always looked forward to Fridays to have class. The homework was challenging, but that is when it's the most fun! The instructor was a great teacher who kept me engaged in class, and we did cool problems in class. I learned so much, and I just thoroughly enjoyed this class. Thanks again!"
"Introduction to Algebra A is an amazing class. AoPS has made me truly love mathematics. It covers the course material at a pace that allows you to learn a ton and not be bored by reciting stuff over and over. The explanations are clear and the problems are challenging and fun. I like it so much, I'm already signed up for Introduction to Algebra B."
"Great Class! We had a marvelous instructor and we learned so many things. As the course continues, life does too, and I start to see the course's elements incorporated in real-life situations. Again, really good class with lots of fun topics."
"This class was lots of fun, yet at the same time very instructive. It transformed my whole thinking process about counting and probability and made me a much stronger math student. Thanks again AoPS for another fun class!"
"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."
"This class dramatically enhanced my ability to solve Olympiad-level geometry problems, as well as my problem solving skills in general. The instruction was some of the best I've ever seen. Not only did the class explain the techniques for solving various problems, but it also gave the motivation for thinking of a particular technique for a problem. I can now complete problems that used to take me weeks to solve in a couple hours!"
"This was the best and most enjoyable math course I have ever taken (and this is coming from an engineering major who sat through a lot of math/engineering classes). I had never learned geometry well back in high school and was only really good at the Pythagorean theorem/SAT geometry type stuff, so I really wanted to finally address this weak area of mine. Needless to say, this course went above and beyond my expectations. I have learned so much that I can now solve almost any Alcumus geometry problem, as well as most AMC geometry problems I've encountered, where just 5 months ago I could barely do any slightly tricky geometry problem."
"The class was very fun and I learned a lot. The instructor was a great teacher. Math is fun already and he made it MORE FUN. This year I was moved ahead in math but was still so bored in school. At AoPS I was finally NOT bored in a math class. This course was amazing!"
"The course was incredibly amazing. I had a very fun time learning an incredible amount of math and I wish that I could take another class soon. I very much appreciate the hard work my teachers put into making the class the best it could possibly be."
"This was a great course. I learned new concepts every class, and I now feel very well prepared for the AIME. Every Art of Problem Solving class I've ever taken has been wonderful, and this one was no exception. Thank you, and keep up the good work!"
"The course really taught me how to think in a problem-solving fashion, and applying previous knowledge to new concepts and proofs. I learned a lot about how to prove things and how to explain them in a logical manner. I think it was a great course to begin studies in discrete mathematics."
"I loved my experience taking this course. What I loved most about it was that even if I knew a good part of the techniques we covered, I still learned many new ones and got a much better understanding of how to combine new and old concepts and apply them to problems that had previously seemed much more overwhelming. I look forward to taking other courses here in the future!"
"I think this class was amazing. I thought probability would only be like, ‘I have 2 red balls and 2 green balls. What is the probability I pick a green ball?’ It is much more complex, deep, and entertaining. I enjoyed this class very much."
"I really loved taking the Prealgebra courses! They were so insightful and helped me understand and think in ways that I normally don't. I like that when I ask for help with, say, a free-response question, the moderators/instructors/teachers don't just tell me what the answer is; they lead me to figure out the answer. A friend of mine told me about the course because she takes it too. I'm really glad she did, because it helps me understand, not just blindly accept, things that I didn't get before. Thank you, AoPS!"
"I enjoyed this course very much. I've had calculus before but this went into much more depth. I feel as if I have a much better understanding of how calculus works than I ever did before. My favourite classes were the ones where we had problem solving sessions. The difficult problems day was especially interesting. I'm really excited to learn more math; this class gave me a glimpse of what is to come!"
"Great class! I learned a whole lot! I don't think math has ever been fun before. AoPS is a great math curriculum for me. It is a more challenging than normal math, but not too challenging. I will definitely take another class!"
"I LOVED this class. It was better than any math class I had ever been to. The instructor was a great teacher and I admire her patience. The problems were challenging and I learned a lot. I can see lots of improvement within myself. Thank you, AoPS!"
"My 9-year-old son LOVED it! The math was inspiring, the teacher had a wonderful sense of humor, and the classroom gave him his first opportunity to meet other students who love math as much as he does. Amazing job! Thank goodness we found AOPS!"
"I have really enjoyed this course! I will definitely continue my study of computer programming, and I am now considering a career in computer science."
"I think that this class is an awesome way to learn new things, especially because we have awesome teachers that are authors of awesome books and the subjects they cover are very useful for MATHCOUNTS, which is my number 1 priority."
"I really liked how interactive the class was. I definitely learned a lot of new things by participating in the class. I wish there were more weeks in this class!"
"The class was great. I enjoyed learning, and I was surprised to find I sat for so long doing math. It was lots of fun!"
"This class was the best! I have tried to learn programming before but this one explained it the most clearly ever! I would definitely continue to take more AoPS classes in the future!"
"In general, this course has been a delight for me and I'm sure the same goes for the other students. It used thought-out analyses of challenging problems from the AMC 10 test. The class was taught excellently by an intelligent instructor who went through and explained each problem step-by-step. This course was fun, easy to understand, logical, and above all helpful! I would definitely take another course by AoPS next time I get the chance."
"I really like the structure of this class. It makes it so that you take control of your own learning, but with more structure than complete self-studying. The problems were challenging, but it felt really good to be able to figure them out. I'm sure this class has improved and will improve my test scores."
