In this course, we will be going over MATHCOUNTS, AMC 8, AMC 10, and beyond depending on the skill level of the class. Why should you take this course? Although not necessary for school math, the methods taught in this class can be very beneficial in solving problems in a "smarter" way. This class will teach you tips and tricks schools tend to not teach. From my personal experience, competition math has made school math very easy and offers me much more insight into understanding concepts. Additionally, competition math can be very helpful in boosting your resume for high school and college. Many of the top schools like MIT ask specifically for your AMC scores, so it will make you stand out from other students. What will we learn in this course? We will spend time learning about the three different categories in math: Algebra, Number Theory, and Counting & Probability. Some examples in each of the categories are: Algebra: Discriminants, Vieta's Formulas, Rational Root Theorem, Simplified Quadratic Formula, Polynomials, etc. Number Theory: Classes of Numbers, Divisibility Rules, Engineer's Induction, Pigeonhole Principle, Chicken McNugget Theorem, Parity, etc. Counting & Probability: Dependent and Independent Events, Permutations and Combinations, Probability, Casework, Complementary Counting, Counting with Restrictions, Think About It!, etc. How will the classes operate? A normal class will consist of a 60-minute lecture and practice problems, and a 30-minute problem session with individual help. However, these schedules will fluctuate rapidly as the lectures will most likely require more time.
