Congratulations to all the mathletes who competed at National MATHCOUNTS! If you missed the exciting Countdown Round, you can watch the video at this link. Are you interested in training for MATHCOUNTS or AMC 10 contests? How would you like to train for these math competitions in half the time? We have accelerated sections which meet twice per week instead of once starting on July 8th (7:30pm ET). These sections fill quickly so enroll today!

[list][*]MATHCOUNTS/AMC 8 Basics
[*]MATHCOUNTS/AMC 8 Advanced
[*]AMC 10 Problem Series[/list]
For those interested in Olympiad level training in math, computer science, physics, and chemistry, be sure to enroll in our WOOT courses before August 19th to take advantage of early bird pricing!

Summer camps are starting this month at the Virtual Campus in math and language arts that are 2 - to 4 - weeks in duration. Spaces are still available - don’t miss your chance to have a transformative summer experience. There are middle and high school competition math camps as well as Math Beasts camps that review key topics coupled with fun explorations covering areas such as graph theory (Math Beasts Camp 6), cryptography (Math Beasts Camp 7-8), and topology (Math Beasts Camp 8-9)!

Be sure to mark your calendars for the following upcoming events:
[list][*]June 5th, Thursday, 7:30pm ET: Open Discussion with Ben Kornell and Andrew Sutherland, Art of Problem Solving's incoming CEO Ben Kornell and CPO Andrew Sutherland host an Ask Me Anything-style chat. Come ask your questions and get to know our incoming CEO & CPO!
[*]June 9th, Monday, 7:30pm ET, Game Jam: Operation Shuffle!, Come join us to play our second round of Operation Shuffle! If you enjoy number sense, logic, and a healthy dose of luck, this is the game for you. No specific math background is required; all are welcome.[/list]
Our full course list for upcoming classes is below:
All classes run 7:30pm-8:45pm ET/4:30pm - 5:45pm PT unless otherwise noted.

Let $ a_1,a_2,...,a_N$ be positive real numbers whose sum equals $ 1$. For a natural number $ i$, let $ n_i$ denote the number
of $ a_k$ for which $ 2^{1-i} \geq a_k \geq 2^{-i}$ holds. Prove that
\[  \sum_{i=1}^{\infty} \sqrt{n_i2^{-i}} \leq 4+\sqrt{\log_2 N}.\]

Suppose $f:\mathbb R\to\mathbb R$ is differentiable and $|f'(x)|<\frac 12\;\forall\;x\in\mathbb R.$ Show that for some $x_0\in\mathbb R,f(x_0)=x_0.$

3.)
Suppose $f:[0,1]\to\mathbb R$ is differentiable with $f(0)=0.$ If $|f'(x)|\le f(x)\;\forall\;x\in[0,1],$ then show that $f(x)=0\;\forall\;x.$

4.)
Let $S^1=\{z\in\mathbb C:|z|=1\}$ be the unit circle in the complex plane. Let $f:S^1\to S^1$ be the map given by $f(z)=z^2.$ We define $f^{(1)}:=f$ and $f^{(k+1)}=f\circ f^{(k)}$ for $k\ge 1.$ The smallest positive integer $n$ such that $f^n(z)=z$ is called period of $z.$ Determine the total number of points $S^1$ of period $2025.$

$m$ will be of the form $5^x \cdot 6^y \cdot 7^z$, where $x$ is the least positive integer such that $x + 1  \equiv 0 \mod 5$ and $x \equiv 0 \mod 6, 5$, and this is similar for $y, z$.

Now, since $5,6,7$ are coprime, we can easily get that $x = 84, y = 35, z = 90$, so $m = 5^{84} \cdot 2^{35} \cdot 3^{35} \cdot 7^{90}$. $\square$
