Mission

The main goal of AoPS is to create interactive educational opportunities for avid students of mathematics, specifically focusing mathematical problem solving and mathematics competitions. As time goes on, AoPS is also reaching out to students of other problem solving disciplines, including science, informatics, computer programming, language arts and other subjects.

Tradition of Excellence

The accomplishments of every student are unique, and there is no way to measure that success. However, we try to record and celebrate achievements of AoPS students, faculty, and community members.

Articles

AoPS resources include numerous amazing articles for students, parents, and teachers.

Philanthropy

Many features of the Art of Problem Solving website are made available for free so that every student interested in mathematics can use them.

Additionally, AoPS instructors provide hundreds of hours of teaching and support time for the San Diego Math Circle.

The Art of Problem Solving Initiative is a nonprofit corporation founded by former AoPS CEO Richard Rusczyk with largely the same fundamental mission as AoPS itself but with a greater focus on providing educational resources where they are lacking. AoPS donates a portion of its book and class sales to the foundation.
