This class is a special 5-hour weekend seminar to prepare for the AIME, which is the second in the series of tests used to determine the United States team at the International Math Olympiad. Many top colleges also request AIME scores as part of the college application process. In this course, students learn problem solving strategies and test-taking tactics. Each day consists of general approaches and important facts needed for problems within a given subject area, followed by a discussion of specific problems from past AIME competitions, or from other contests of a similar difficulty level. This course is a repeat of the weekend seminar we offered in 2008, and contains material from the AIME Problem Series A course. One of the instructors of the course was the only perfect scorer on the 1989 AIME.
Day 1: Counting & Algebra
Day 2: Number Theory & Geometry
This class is appropriate for students who are hoping to pass the AIME. If a student already consistently scores above 10 on the AIME, this class is probably not necessary, and if a student is unlikely to answer more than 1 or 2 questions correctly, then that students should start with some of our Introduction series of classes.
This course does not require a textbook. Many students and top math teams use our Art of Problem Solving Volume 2 to prepare for the AIME.
