These Math books are recommended by Art of Problem Solving administrators and members of the AoPS Community.

Levels of reading and math ability are loosely defined as follows:

  • Elementary is for elementary school students up through possibly early middle school.
  • Getting Started is recommended for students grades who are participating in contests like AMC 8/10 and Mathcounts.
  • Intermediate is recommended for students who can expect to pass the AMC 10/12.
  • Olympiad is recommended for high school students who are already studying math at an undergraduate level.
  • Collegiate is recommended for college and university students.

More advanced topics are often left with the above levels unassigned.
