Math Zoom Year-round Problem Solving and Contest Prep Courses
The MathZoom Year-round Problem Solving Courses are designed to help students of all skill levels
improve their mathematical problem-solving abilities.
The MathZoom Programs offer an opportunity for bright and mathematically gifted
students to expand their mathematical horizon, improve problem solving skills, and
appreciate mathematics to a deeper and fascinating level.
The Math Zoom curricula are developed and taught by veterans in national and
international mathematical competitions.
Winter/Spring 2010 Courses in Arcadia and Walnut(Updated schedule as of Nov. 24, 2010.)):
Thursdays: 1/7 to 5/27, no class on 4/6. 20 classes.
5:00pm-6:00pm
5420 Trabuco Rd, #180, Irvine, CA 92620
Fall 2009 Courses (Updated schedule as of August 31, 2009. For students taking classes at the Arcadia location,
for your convenience, we are having classes at the site across street from the Arcadia Library.)):
To register for YMO, MC I, MC II and/or MC III, please download the registration
form and follow the instruction on the form.
Other Locations: We hold Math Zoom classes at several locations in Southern California, including Irvine, Arcadia,
and Walnut. The interest list is forming for other locations.
If you are interested in taking classes in other locations, please submit the form and indicate your interest. It's possible
to schedule a class at a location not listed in the registration form if there is enough interest. You are welcome to
gather your friends and request a new class in a location close to where you live.
You do not need to pay anything until the class is scheduled.
Please call us and discuss the possibility and timeline to start a class in a location near you.
In MC II, students learn and practice in areas such as algebra and geometry on the high school level, as well as
advanced number theory and combinatorics. Topics include polynomials, inequalities, special algebraic techniques,
trigonometry, triangles and polygons, collinearity and concurrency, vectors and coordinates, numbers and divisibility,
modular arithmetic, residue classes, advanced counting strategies, binomial coefficients, pigeonhole principle,
sequence and series, and
various other topics and problem solving techniques involved in math contests such as the American Mathematics
Competition (AMC) 10, 12 and ARML, and also the beginning AIME level.
This course is for experienced students who can solve at least a few problems in the AIME contest, and up to
the USAMO level. In this course, the students learn more in-depth math concepts and problem-solving
strategies that involves more rigorous mathematical writing and a broad range of topics. The topics includes everything
covered in MC II with more depth, and additional topics such as quadratic residue, diophantine equations, recurrence,
proving inequalitis, mathematical induction, functional equations, generating functions, inversion, projective geometry,
and rigorous proof-writing practices. Through effective guidance and direction by our experienced teachers,
students develop strong problem solving skills that make them perform well in AIME and USAMO.
Students learn the Math skills at a deeper level with topics in beginning algebra, fundamental geometry,
basic number theory concepts and counting strategies, as well as logic and probabilities. The students not only
learn practical skills of challenging problem solving that are supplemental to their
school curricula, but also develop skills in creative thinking, logical reasoning, oral and written presentation, and
team work. This course helps 6th to 8th graders (some advanced 5th graders may attend upon aproval) to participate in the American
Mathematics Competition (AMC) 8, MathCounts and Math Olympiads for Elementary and Middle Schools MOEMS. Through effective
guidance and direction by our experienced teachers, students develop strong problem solving skills that make them perform
well in the MathCounts, AMC 8, and MOEMS Contests.
This course is focused on nurturing the interests of young kids from 4th to 5th grades in challenging Math problem solving.
With the effective guidance of our experienced teachers, kids explore the fun of solving interesting and meaningful Math related problems,
and develop their logical and critical thinking skills. Some basic concepts covered in the Math Olympiads for Elementary School (MOEMS) are explored.
This course is focused on nurturing the interests of young kids from 2nd to 3rd grades in mental math and Math problem
solving. With the effective guidance of our experienced teachers, kids explore the patterns of numbers and the fun of
solving interesting and meaningful Math related problems, and develop their logical and critical thinking skills.
Some basic concepts covered in the Math Olympiads for Elementary School (MOEMS) are explored.
