Math: Art of Problem Solving

“These classes were very helpful for building my foundation for Maths. They not only taught the “what” aspects of Math, but more importantly the “why” aspect of Math, this is what made the course unique from others. Multiple interesting activities, videos and scheduled doubt clarification sessions to understand the mathematical concepts always kept me engaged. The teachers made the class extremely engaging, and I could not be distracted from Maths for a single second. Lastly, they always gave a good amount of homework to practice, which really helped me remember these Maths concepts. Overall, the “Art of Problem Solving” course was one that I will never forget!”

“The best part was that I got to learn a new topic in maths every week, so I always looked forward to this class, as it was fun and engaging. The course was quite different in terms of how the instructors explained, the use of technology and in many other ways which made it really enjoyable. The homework problems and weekly doubts sessions really helped me to further improve in the topics taught and also helped me to remember key details of every topic by solving problems. Overall, I really had a blast, especially because of the diversity of topics that we got to learn and the numerous class discussions that were held.”

“This course was completely different and much more fun from school math. I learned a lot more and this has really expanded my knowledge in math to a great extent. In school, we don’t go into the depth and history of each topic. The course had a great learning environment even in the online space. The teachers are extremely supportive and encouraging. Even though I have never studied the topics we covered in this course earlier, I am sure I will use the tips and tricks taught in this course in my future studies.”

“This course is more challenging and covers more subject areas than in school. I really enjoyed the games and activities, since they were a change from normal class activities and were very fun. The course helped me learn a lot of cool facts about maths. The weekly doubt sessions were helpful too, even if I didn’t have a doubt with a question I still learned something from someone else’s doubts.”

The mathematics which we learn in school has a very limited approach but in the course the mathematics which we taught had a very broad perspective. The best thing about this course was that there was always a surprise the next day. Different topics were covered each day and it was covered in a fun and creative way too. This has really impacted me and now look at mathematics with a different perspective.

This course, firstly taught me a lot that I have not come across before and it gave me certain ways to think differently and inquire. This was different, because I felt we engaged with each other more rather than just doing regular individual tests and sums. The co-instructors were very helpful whenever I had to have my doubts answered in the Doubt sessions and regular sessions too at times. I really enjoyed learning concepts that you wouldn’t regularly come across in school. I am sure this will help me understand maths way better!

I feel like we learnt a lot more about maths that was outside the current portion of our school, and we learnt it in a very fun and interesting way. The instructors were always pro active in class, and responded to questions immediately. They always had a different approach to all problems. I liked the fun ways in which we learnt maths topics, and it has taught me so many different perspectives in maths than school.

This course is different because in this course whenever we learn a new formula or a new way to do something, we are always taught why this happens and how it works. In school, however, we are just taught the formula not why it is used. I really enjoyed learning how to approach different topics differently. I also enjoyed the course because I learnt many new things about math and it made me enjoy it a lot.

The Art of Problem Solving course was my foundation for Maths competitions such as the AMC. It involves more thinking about the problem you are going to solve, how you will solve, and more importantly why it is solved in a particular way. In school, we are just given a formula and told that it is correct. It provided me with the skills I needed to take the AMC course as an eighth grader. Overall, it was a really interesting course and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to go on to do well in Math competitions.

We discussed problems that were out of the box, which I would have thought were impossible. The way we learned about it was also really different from school, we had lots of hands-on activities that showed different methods to understand concepts.

School math often forgets to cover the theory behind a formula or constant but this course covered all of that and more.

It’s completely different as there are much harder questions and the way its solved is completely different but much easier to understand.
