Shortcut:

The AoPSWiki Words of the Week are the "featured" words on AoPSWiki for the week. Typically, every week one mathematical term and one "other" topic (a contest, a summer camp, a problem-solving strategy, etc.) will be selected.

All AoPSWiki users are particularly encouraged to edit the pages for the Words of the Week as a collaborative effort.

Editing tips

For mathematical topics

  • Don't just define! Give examples. If the topic is related to problem solving, it is also good to provide examples of actual problems that utilize that technique.
  • Have lots of links to other related topics. Have links to other wiki pages that talk about terms that you use. Edit those other pages too!
  • Images are often very useful, especially in fields like geometry. See A:IMG for image related syntax. Or alternatively you can use Asymptote to draw geometry diagrams.

For other topics

  • For contests: describe
    • how the contest works
    • who runs it
    • a bit about its history
    • what types of students can/should participate
    • any prizes
    • other related contests
    • a link to the contest's website
  • For summer camps:
    • Nuts and bolts: where, how long, how much
    • Compare to other summer camps
    • Try to be objective. The forum is a place to give your opinions. The wiki is a place to give facts.
