Bogus Proof Marathon

pifinity 7760

Hi!
I'd like to introduce the Bogus Proof Marathon.

In this marathon, simply post a bogus proof that is middle-school level and the next person will find the error. You don't have to post the real solution :P

Use classic Marathon format:

[hide=P#]a1b2c3[/hide]
[hide=S#]a1b2c3[/hide]

Example posts:

P(x)
-----
S(x)
P(x+1)
-----
Let's go!! Just don't make it too hard!

Should I reset Alcumus?

SunnieBunnie 17

My Alcumus rating is pretty low, 59.5, and I only did about 90% of my problems correct out of 328. Should I reset?

Private Forum for Geometry Study

fossasor 240

Hi all,

I've recently been trying to improve my skill at competition math, but I consistently struggle with geometry. Since doing math is more fun and motivating with others, I've created the GeoPrepClub. This is a private forum to increase geometry skill and help others increase theirs: we'll have problems, marathons, and much more. This is similar to forums such as "AMC8 Prep Buddies" by PatTheKing, but is focused exclusively on this subject. We welcome all skill levels and hope those with greater mathematical knowledge can assist those lacking in it.

If this sounds interesting to you, sing up below and I'll let you know once I've added you. Although the forum may not have much now, that's because I've only just released it, and I hope once I build a community, It will be a very useful and motivating space for those interested in improving their geometry. The link is
here.

I look forward to seeing you all in the forum!

Proving Algebra

Justbrick 0

Prove that for all positive real numbers $x, y, z > 0$ such that $x + y + z = 3$ , we have:
$\frac{(1 - x)^2}{1 - x^4} + \frac{(1 - y)^2}{1 - y^4} + \frac{(1 - z)^2}{1 - z^4} \ge 0.$

My first proof problem

OWOW 0

In the equation $\sum_{i=0}^n i$ prove (or disprove) that there exists infinitely many positive integers n in which $\sum_{i=0}^n i$ sums to k! where k is a positive integer. (examples, 1+2+3=3! and 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13+14+15=5!

Also this is my first proof problem so don't get mad at me if it's really bad. (Technically I'm a middle schooler so I should post this in the middle school threads but I'm thinking proofs are more high school level so I'm posting it here.)

The MathGauss 2025 Summer Math Competition (AMC/AIME Level)

MathandPhysics-Life 5

Hey AoPS Community,

*Pretty sure this is allowed in Contests and Programs, asked in the Site Support to make sure.

With the summer winding down, the team at MathGauss wanted to give everyone a chance to tackle one last big challenge before heading back to school. We are thrilled to announce our first-ever MathGauss 2025 Summer Math Competition! We've poured a lot of effort into creating a unique set of problems designed to be both fun and challenging for everyone who loves the thrill of competition math. :cool:

Why Participate?
This is more than just a contest; it's a perfect opportunity to:

Sharpen your skills: Get in some high-quality practice before the official fall competition season begins.

Test your knowledge: See how you stack up on problems ranging from the cleverness of AMC 10 to the deeper insights required for early to mid AIME.

Have fun: Enjoy a set of 10 creative problems in a low-pressure, high-reward environment.

Contest Format
Structure: You will have 45 minutes to solve 10 short-answer problems.

Difficulty & Style: The problems are crafted to test a broad range of skills, mirroring the style of official competitions. Expect to see questions that require clever thinking and elegant solutions. Ranges from early AMC 10 to mid AIME.

Answer Format: All answers are positive integers. There is no need to input units or any special formatting.

Scoring: Your final rank is determined by the number of correct answers. To break ties, we will use the time of your final submission(when you click the submit button). There is no penalty for incorrect guesses, so we encourage you to attempt every problem!

Prizes
We believe in rewarding hard work, so we've put together a great prize package for our top competitors!

Top 3 Finishers :first: : Receive a 6-month MathGauss Olympian Subscription completely free. This is your all-access pass to our most advanced training materials.

Athemath Fall 2025 Applications Are Open!

cosmicflame 17

[center]IMAGE Athemath Fall '25 applications are now open! IMAGE[/center]

Athemath is a virtual program bringing together extraordinary young women through math. Founded by alifenix- in 2020, we offer high-quality math contest classes taught by female MOP alumni, office hours, seminars about all sorts of interesting topics, fun clubs to meet other people with similar interests, and a wholesome, active Discord community with 400+ members and counting! Students also get to join Athemath teams and travel to in-person math contests such as HMMT, PUMaC, and CMWMC. It’s like a summer camp, but at 25% intensity, virtual, and during the school year!

IMAGE $\text{[math]}$ Who are we?

Athemath was founded by Ali Cy in 2020 to create a community for young female mathematicians all around the world. Since its founding, our program has grown to over 400 members, and this semester, we have a total of 26 staff members, including 10 teachers and 13 TAs coming from 7 countries (you can read about the history of the program here, including student testimonials!). Our staff includes many IMO/EGMO medalists and MOPpers, a lot of whom are Athemath alumni themselves. Read more about our awesome staff members here!

IMAGE $\text{[math]}$ How does Athemath work?

The Fall '25 semester will be from September 20th to December 31st, lasting 14 weeks, and will include:

[list]
[*] Weekly math classes ranging in difficulty from AMC to Olympiad level, with 6 lecture classes and 5 check-in sessions to learn math, groupsolve problems together, and get to know other people! Each class is complete with handouts, an optional problem set, and full recordings of the lectures. You can find our course catalog here!
[*] Multiple office hour sessions happening throughout each week where students can ask questions about math problems, learn new concepts, and hang out together
[*] Seminars about all sorts of different topics such as higher math, general life advice, and unique perspectives
[*] Problem of the Day seasons with handpicked problems in order of increasing difficulty each week
[*] Clubs to connect with other people over shared interests, with interest channels in our 24/7 Discord lounge
[*] The opportunity to join Athemath teams and travel to contests like HMMT and CMIMC; everyone in Athemath is also invited to meetups at contests such as MP4G!
[*] Collecting points for the houses students are sorted into at the beginning of each semester
[*] An active Discord server with 400+ members where students can meet other talented math enthusiasts
[*] ...and more! See our virtual program page for more details and information!
[/list]
The program is $90 per semester, and we offer financial aid which waives the class fee if necessary.

IMAGE $\text{[math]}$ Should I apply?

If you're a non-binary or female student who is interested in joining our community, we really encourage you to apply! You'd be a good fit if you're in middle or high school, can score at least a 60 on the AMC 10, and have not yet qualified for MOP, but even if you're outside this range, feel free to apply if you think Athemath is right for you! Our classes range from AMC level to Olympiad level covering all four subjects (algebra, number theory, combinatorics, and geometry), so we'd likely be able to find a good fit for you no matter where you are in your math journey.

IMAGE $\text{[math]}$ Apply now!

Our applications have now opened at athemath.org/apply, and the deadline to submit the form is August 31st, 2025, Anywhere On Earth! The application consists of five problems and answering some short questions about yourself. You definitely don't have to solve all of the problems; in fact, most accepted students in the past solved around 2 problems, though the difficulty changes every year. You will be notified of your admissions decision shortly after the deadline!

If you have any questions, you can check our website at athemath.org, contact us at contact@athemath.org, or ask any of our staff members! We hope you apply, and have an amazing summer!

Frankl Theorem?

EthanWYX2009 0

Source: 2024 February 谜之竞赛-3

Let $n$ be a positive integer, $f(n)$ denote the maximum possible size of a family $\mathcal{F}$ of subsets of $\{1, 2, \cdots, n\}$ such that for any two subsets $X, Y \in \mathcal{F}$ , $|X \cap Y|$ is a perfect square.

Show that $2^{\lfloor \sqrt{n} \rfloor} \leq f(n) \leq 100^{\sqrt{n} \ln n}.$

Studying for Putnam

chessboy_123 0

Hello everyone,
I'm going to be a rising freshman in college and I want to start studying for the Putnam. In HS I only ever made AIME with a highest score of 8. Are there any books or other resources to help me bridge the gap between AIME and Putnam?

Thanks!

On f(x) and f([x])

ajovanovic 3

For which $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ does $f(x)$ ~ $f([x])$ hold?

Note: I have proved this for concave, unbounded, monotone increasing $f$ . Is this a necessary condition?

Favicon Not Loading In Classroom

nosassy0 0

In my classroom (I am specifically taking 4210 Calculus) the favicon isn't loading. Developer tools says the server is throwing a 404 error. This obviously isn't a big deal but I thought I'd let someone know because I'd much rather have the happy AoPS cube than the generic world symbol. Thanks guys!

Question regarding forum use

MathandPhysics-Life 2

Hi,

Sorry, I am new to using forums, please let me know if this is allowed(if this should be in site support).

I have created a math contest, and was wondering if it would be fine to put in the Contests and Programs forum so more people would participate in it. Would this be allowed?

Thanks in advance!
