Momentum Learning Contest Math Advanced Level 3 (AIME Advanced)
Welcome to our contest math summer camp, where we delve into more challenging mathematical concepts beyond typical school curriculum. Our program is designed to cultivate a deeper understanding of mathematical principles and enhance problem-solving abilities in students.
This camp is for students who want to improve their performance on competitions such as AIME, HMMT, PUMaC.
Contest Math Advanced Level 3 Prerequisites: 6+ on AIME
Please note: Level 3 is focused on computational math that will help students improve their scores on AIME.
Momentum Learning Contest Math Summer Camp Overview
All instructional materials for the self-paced classes, including recorded sessions, will be accessible for 6 months from the start date. Optional weekly office hours are available. Students must submit questions to info@momentumlearning.org at least one day before each office hour. Office hours will be canceled if no questions are submitted. Zoom and Canvas platforms will be used for delivery and access to these resources.

Osman Nal, Ph.D.
Dr. Nal has a deep passion for teaching math and its applications. He has special interest in utilizing games and experiments to explain fundamental ideas and concepts in math, economics and finance.
He’s also been helping high school students prepare for math Olympiads over the years. Some of his students went on to become MOSP attendees, USA(J)MO Honorable Mentions and USA(J)MO Winners. Each year more than 60 of his students at Momentum Learning qualified for USA(J)MO. Among them, 4-8 students qualify for MOSP.
In addition, Dr. Nal also teaches at AoPS. Dr. Nal also creates his own videos with solutions to USAMO and other math problems in his YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/osmannal) with over 7,500 subscribers. The Channel is growing every day with over a hundred videos that can be used as a resource for those starting their journey to Olympiad problem solving.

FAQ
Will summer camp cover the same material as spring and fall semesters?
There could be some overlap in topic coverage. However, most of the questions addressed in the camp will differ from those in our spring/fall classes.
Mastering contest math concepts typically requires multiple reinforcement opportunities. Each subsequent encounter with the same topics not only deepens students’ understanding but also progressively enables them to apply these concepts independently. It is unrealistic to expect students to fully grasp a concept and proficiently apply it after being exposed to it only once or twice.
Will there be homework assigned daily?
During the camp sessions, the instructor will present various example questions. Initially, students will be given 2-3 minutes to attempt solving the question. Subsequently, the instructor will solve the question and discuss its implications. It’s typical for students not to fully solve the questions within the allotted time. Therefore, the homework is for students to review and actively tackle all questions they didn’t complete during each day’s camp session.
Remember: You cannot claim to know how to solve a question unless you independently work through it without assistance.
