How The Math Sets Are Organized
The NMTC problem sets begin with algebra, number theory, combinatorics, and geometry handouts, then move into long-form problem sets with separate solutions.
Recommended Order
- Week 1 Algebra handout, then Problem Set 1.
- Week 2 Number Theory handout, then selected problems from Sets 1 and 2.
- Week 3 Combinatorics handout, then timed proof-writing.
- Week 4 Geometry handout, then diagram-heavy problems.
How To Review
Write a clean solution after every serious attempt. Mark the exact idea you missed: substitution, invariant, angle chase, counting model, or construction.
