−
This course is a very challenging problem-solving course for students who have participated in the AMC and are eager to take their skills to the next level.
 
−
 
−
In one part of the course, general problem-solving techniques are introduced, such as:
 
−
 
−
* the pigeon hole principle
 
−
* invariance principle
 
−
* extremal principle
 
−
* induction principle
 
−
* systematic checking
 
−
 
−
Some of these general problem-solving paradigms enjoy applicability outside of mathematics. In the other part of the course, these metholds are discussed in specific mathematical contexts such as:
 
−
 
−
number theory
 
−
combinatorics, sequences
 
−
polynomials
 
−
In tackling non-routine problems whose solutions are not immediate, students are encouraged to approach problems from different angles. A further goal of this course is to improve a student's ability to write proofs. Students attend weekly virtual classroom sessions to discuss challenging problems.
 
−
 
−
Each topic covered in the course is independent of the other topics.  One topic is taught a week on a continuous repeating basis.  Students will not necessarily start with "Topic 1" in their first week of enrollment, but all topics will be covered in a 3-month enrollment.  When all topics are covered, a student then takes the final exam.
