About
Part of the academic-competition Schoolhouse Initative mentorship program.
This series will cover the fundamentals required for success on competitions such as the AMC 10. Beginning topics in Algebra, Number Theory, Geometry, and Counting and Probability will be the main focus. Algebra 1 knowledge will be almost necessary, and some Geometry may help. No competition math experience is required. Prepare pencils and paper to work on problems independently. Each class will focus on one of the four subjects stated, and each class will have 2-4 smaller topics.
