Welcome to the study space! We'll use the Pomodoro timer to help you focus on finishing whatever you need to do! If you have any questions about topics I'm certified in (including pre-algebra, algebra 1, algebra 2, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, statistics, college algebra, and AP Precalculus/Statistics/Computer Science A/Psychology), feel free to ask me during the session! More sessions will be scheduled over time to avoid unforeseeable schedule conflicts.

We will learn about the fundamentals of mathematical proofs. We will cover the following major topics: - sets, which all of mathematics can be expressed as - logic, which allows the thinking behind proofs - proof strategies, including proof by contradiction, using cases, the pigeonhole principle, and many more. This series is for you if you are strong with algebra and are interested in getting into mathematical proofs. I took a semester-long course called Intro to Mathematical Proofs at my school where I learned important, foundational concepts in math proofs. I have taken numerous exams and completed many projects where I demonstrated high proficiency in class content. I really enjoyed the course and I'm excited to help you learn the basics of proofs!

Every session, we will solve a competitive programming problem from USACO, Codeforces, and other online judges and contests. Each problem will focus on a certain algorithm, such as binary search, prefix sum, DFS/BFS, etc. I am competing in the Gold Division of USACO and have competed in various other contests like ACSL and Codeforces. I'm excited to guide you with fun competitive programming problems and algorithms!
