Course Description
Math Challenge III and Math Challenge IV courses are for students who are qualified to participate in the AIME or USA(J)MO invitational competitions, or have an equivalent level of mathematical experience. Topics include algebra, geometry, combinatorics, and number theory, with the focus more on in-depth problem solving strategies, theorems, and techniques, including pairing, change of variables, inequalities, theorems such as Ceva and Menelaus, bijections, and more. The curricula have been proven to help students develop strong problem solving skills that make them perform well in math contests such as AIME, USA(J)MO, ARML, and ZIML Varsity.
MC III or MC IV? In most cases, it is recommended that students complete MC III before taking MC IV. MC III covers fundamentals knowledge and problem solving for students preparing for Advanced AMC 10/12 and AIME. MC IV covers topics and problem solving for students qualified for USA(J)MO and above.
Live Courses
Self-Paced Courses
It is recommended MC IV is taken as a live course. However, selected sessions, especially those focused on fundamental Math Olympiad topics, are available as self-paced.
Textbooks
Note: Topics for MC IV are selected for each session, so there is no textbook associated with the MC IV course.
