Attention students! This section of the AMC web site is dedicated to information for, and from, you! (Of course, some of it may also be of interest to teachers and parents.) This set of pages was originally set up by a former USAMO/MOSP/IMO participant, Kiran Kedlaya. Any suggestions for possible additions to this area would be greatly appreciated. Please send suggestions to amcinfo@unl.edu.
- The Art of Problem Solving hosts an online Forum for Mathematics students to collaborate and develop a community of peers. This is available at:
- http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/Forum/index.php
- Tips for Olympiad participants (read this first!)
- Web
- Recommended reading
- Problems - work as many different problems and as many different types of problems as you can
- The Problem Directory contains a list of web sites around the world with various problems or resources.
- The AMC 8/10/12 Archives provides problems with solutions for a variety of levels, covering materials in the more recent Contests.
- The AIME Problem Archive provides a limited number of problems for a more advanced student.
- The USAMO / IMO Problem Archive is a table of problems from the USA, International and Asian Pacific Mathematical Olympiads in various formats.
- This archive is restricted to the most recent examinations. The older exams appear in several books published by the Mathematical Association of America; check there for more information. (Note: the USAMO exams are copyrighted, and appear with the permission of the MAA, for personal use only. )
- Online materials for Olympiad preparation:
- A packet on Euclidean geometry: in LaTeX or PostScript
- A packet on inequalities: in LaTeX or PostScript
- The current revisions of Mathematical Contests 1996-1997 (DVI, PDF, PostScript) and Mathematical Contests 1997-1998 (DVI, PDF, PostScript). These are available in print from AMC, and may eventually be reissued by the MAA; thus corrections and comments would be appreciated.
- The Math Olympiad Summer Program home page has additional materials, including some practice problems.
- Kiran Kedlaya's home page (still active)(kedlaya(at)math.berkeley.edu)
