Art of Problem Solving Fall/Winter Schedule
The Art of Problem Solving Fall/Winter Schedule is available here. The classes we offer this fall and winter are listed below.

Introductory level: Grades 6-10

*Algebra 1. Tuesdays starting Oct 6.
*Introduction to Number Theory. Tuesdays starting Nov 3.
*Introduction to Counting & Probability. Two offerings, one on Mondays starting Oct 5, one on Thursdays starting Oct 8. The Monday class is at a special early time, for homeschooled and European students.
*Introduction to Geometry. Fridays starting Oct 9.
*Algebra 2. Wednesdays, starting Sept 30.
MATHCOUNTS/AMC 8 Basics. Fridays starting Oct 23.
Advanced MATHCOUNTS/AMC 8. Wednesdays starting Nov 11.
AMC 10 Problem Series. Tuesdays starting Oct 20.

Intermediate level: Grades 8-12

*Algebra 3. Wednesdays starting Oct 7.
*Intermediate Counting & Probability. Tuesdays starting Oct 6.
*Precalculus. Fridays starting Dec 4.
*Calculus. Mondays starting Oct 12.
AMC 12 Problem Series. Mondays starting Oct 19.
AIME Problem Series A. Thursdays starting Dec 3. (Special late start time, 9 PM ET (6 PM PT).)
AIME Problem Series B. Wednesdays starting Dec 2.

Classes marked with a (*) have an accompanying textbook. If you plan to enroll in one of these courses, you should do so well before the start of the course, so that you receive the text before the class starts. (Note: The Precalculus and Calculus books are not yet available.)

All of our courses offer full transcripts for each class, so if you're going to miss a class or two, you'll still have access to everything that happened in class.

If you have any questions about a specific class, please contact us at classes@artofproblemsolving.com.

For Precalculus, should we have mastered Algebra 3 and Intermediate C/P?

You should have many of the fundamentals of Intermediate Algebra down -- polynomials, functions, series. You don't have to have Intermediate Counting before Precalculus.

Will the AIME stuff be mostly covered in WOOT? (I've taken the AMC 12 class before)

Algebra 3 has material from a typical school-curriculum Algebra II and non-trig pre-calculus. The AoPS Precalculus has all the precalc topics not covered in Algebra 3 (e.g. trigonometry) plus more complex numbers and vectors.

I think most of the late AIME stuff will be covered in WOOT, meaning later than #5

All of our Intermediate classes (including Precalculus) cover material in-depth that will be helpful on the AIME, and in other applications of mathematics.

This may be a somewhat vague question: is Intermediate C&P or Precalculus harder? I know that the two cover completely different fields in math, but which one has more challenging problems?

Precalculus is the more comprehensive course, so I say precalc > C/P

This probably depends on what you're personally good at. I'd say they're of comparable difficulty.

No; that instruction is part of WOOT.

Does olympiad geometry cover all of the geometry in WOOT?

Hard question to answer. There's overlap in general subject matter, but not everything that appears in one appears in the other.

Oops, sorry. Blush I thought..
"Calculus description" wrote:
A course in single-variable calculus. This course covers limits, continuity, derivatives and their applications, definite and indefinite integrals, infinite sequences and series, plane curves, polar coordinates, and basic differential equations.

I assume this not fully updated?

Also, how long will the Precalculus book be? Is it about the same length as Intermediate Counting & Prob?

A good bit longer than the Interm Counting book, though part of that is because vectors and matrices (and diagrams for the geometry chapters) chew up a lot of space. Not sure what you're referring to about the Calculus...

I got a little confused with the Course Description for Calculus in the Online Classes section, which said "A course in single-variable calculus." Smile Maybe I just misunderstood the description.

Why is Geometry the only sub-subject of the 4 Introductions that doesn't have an Intermediate course, but rather an Olympiad Course? Will there be the book Olympiad Geometry?

I think that because there are so many "olympiad geometry" books(geometry revisited for example), that AoPS isn't going to release their own.(I'm not sure about this)
