Much of AoPS's curriculum, specifically designed for high-performing math students in grades 5-12, is now available online!
Our online books offer the same content as our print books. The online books work directly in your web browser: there is no additional software to download. (Students must be signed onto the AoPS website to access an online book.) Students will have immediate access to the online book upon purchase: no waiting for a print book to be shipped.

Prealgebra Chapter 5, Section 3: Solving Linear Equations IIOnline Book FAQs
Below are frequently asked questions about our online books. If your question isn't answered here, then please use this form to send us your question.
Online Book Content
The core material is the same; the chapters, sections, and problems are the same in the printed and online versions of the books. So, for example, a teacher could safely assign readings and homework to a class in which some students have the online book and others have the printed book. However, there are some wording and format differences to optimize the presentation on various devices.
One key difference between the online and printed versions is direct access from the books to supplementary material such as the AoPS Community, AoPS Videos, and Alcumus. (Videos and Alcumus are not available in all online books.)
Yes, full solutions are available to all problems in every online book. While the solutions manuals are sold separately in printed book sales, the solutions are included with every online book sale. Teachers who are using the online books in a school setting will have the ability turn off access to the solutions.
We expect to make updates to the online books, both adding features and curating book content. Everyone with access to an updated book will receive the updates without additional charges.
The AoPS Community is integrated with all of our online books.
Alcumus is available for all of our Introduction-level books: Prealgebra, Introduction to Algebra, Introduction to Counting & Probability, Introduction to Geometry, and Introduction to Number Theory.
AoPS Videos are available for Prealgebra, Introduction to Counting & Probability, and the first half of the Introduction to Algebra text. The available videos are embedded in the online texts.
The Community feature of the online books is provided for students to interact with each other, not with AoPS staff. Students wishing to work with AoPS instructors should enroll in one of our online classes.
