The Art of (Maths) Problem Solving

Last night in conversation I heard someone saying that being a 'geek' is the new 'cool'. Then the guys who put together this site must be very cool. The Art of Problem Solving is a maths website with online classes designed for high-performing math students in grades 5-12. They have a number of courses starting at various times from September 2009 onwards (in line with the northern hemisphere school year, they are based in the US) that might be of interest to maths students here. Some of the courses are free, some are not too cheap but they cover a range of topics including algebra, counting and probability, pre-calculus and calculus as well as problem solving.

There is also a 7 month course Olympiad preparation and testing program called WOOT (WOOT stands for Worldwide Online Olympiad Training) that brings together many of the best students from around the world to learn Olympiad problem solving skills.

If you know someone who loves maths or are looking for some maths opportunities beyond what might be available at school, you might like to have a look at their website at  Art of Problem Solving
