AMC/AIME AoPSWiki Resources

joml88

If you haven't checked out the AoPSWiki yet, you really ought to!

One of the ongoing projects in the AoPSWiki is the development of the AMC Problems/Solutions. This is not a small task, so we will need a lot of help. Anyone can help. You just use your AoPS account for the AoPSWiki.

I've already started with the 2006 AIME I. If you look around, you should get a feel for it.

I haven't put the solutions in for the 2006 AIME I. Also, if you want to put links to message board posts with the problems, that would be a good idea. Just make sure to put the links in the ''See also'' section of the article.

The biggest advantage of the wiki over the contest directory is that anyone can edit it at any time.

Thanks.

Another note for entering problems into the wiki:

Look at the 2006 AIME 1 Problems. It has all the problems listed as their own section. After the problem statement it has a solution link which brings you to a page dedicated solely for that problem. When making these solution pages you MUST name them like the following: 2006 AIME I Problems/Problem 1. What this does is it creates a subarticle for that problem (instead of making a whole new article).

Thanks.

An additional note:

Look at the way I entered the USC exam into the wiki. I think the AMC's should follow this format (it's open to improvement though if you have suggestions).

Also, note that on the individual problem pages ( e.g. http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/Wiki/index.php/University_of_South_Carolina_High_School_Math_Contest/1993_Exam/Problem_2 ) I have links to the previous problem, next problem, and back the exam page. I also added the [[Category:...] tags for all of them.

Sorry to bump....

but the AIME's certainly still need more work!!!

Today I fixed around a couple things about the AIME's (preliminaries for like 3 or 4 tests, one completely added)
For many, the Latex is up but it just need to have <math> tags added and split into problems.

When you work on an AIME, still try to post here Smile

for editing the AIME pages, is it ok to copy and paste the "official AoPS solution", which is linked to the right of the problem statement in the Contests section? and if so should the original solver's name be posted?

Seeing as those aren't truly "official AoPS solutions" but solutions that members posted and mods edited, yes, its okay, and yes the solver's name should be up there.
Also if you have a different solution you can post it as a second solution.

Can someone start putting up solutions to this year's AIME I? I typed up the problems here but don't have time to put up all my solutions.

That's a little pessimistic... Sad

A pessimist is just a realist who's not high...

But w/e. Do we have MAA's permission to break copyright? I know that the Kalva archive has to avoid that.

On second thought, if the problems are split up it should be legal...at least I think that's what the pamphlet said.

Why do we have a wiki and contest resources section?
We should combine those as some problems aren't entered in the one but is in the other and it gets annoying to filp back and forth.
Also alot of pictures and solutions are missing in the contest resources and typos are present.

Aren't only certain moderators able to edit the resources section?

You can edit the wiki.

I thought that if we posted the official solutions while acknowledging MAA, it won't be infringing copyrights? I think that's what it said on the pamphlet covers.

You shouldn't just copy the AMC solutions. Write your own! (They can use essentially the same steps, but they shouldn't be word-for-word copies.)
