mathbrek is a cool person who's really good at math. Fun fact: That's actually why their username has the word math in it. Mathbrek was born in 1997.
Background
Mathbrek was born into a family. Born as the child of a CEO, they didn't have many resources, and as such learned resourcefulness from a young age. Some of Mathbrek's most compelling childhood stories involve music. To get to school every morning, they would have to brave the tundra, fight an alligator, cross the Han River, climb the Appalachian mountain range, order at McDonalds, and hunt in the woods. As such, they set an alarm.
Life at AoPS
AoPS (pronounced A O P S) trains students to approach new challenges by breaking problems down into familiar parts. We help students develop the problem-solving skills they need to confidently tackle challenging problems—and not only in mathematics. Over time, we’ve expanded into subjects like physics, programming, and language arts. Across different disciplines, our approach is to help students build a deep foundational understanding of a few critical concepts that they can then apply across a wide range of problems. Students are encouraged to play, experiment, fail and persevere—building the flexibility, creativity, and determination needed to confidently tackle the tough problems they will face as adults. Students learn in different ways, so we offer resources in a variety of different formats, and we’ve built a community where students can connect and collaborate with their peers. We hope to keep growing this community of interdisciplinary problem solvers to be ready for the complex ideas that are yet to come.
