ORMC Meetings • 2020-2021 Academic Year

We warm-up for the new academic year by solving problems from some older mathematical competitions.

Some low degree polynomial analysis starting with quadratics including Vieta's formulas.

We finish last weeks handout with the convex property and start cubic equations.

We continue the cubic handout from last week.

We have a more in depth coverage of complex numbers.

We discuss e and one of its definitions coming off Euler's equation.

We talk about functions and some relations between them.

We do a little more analysis of quadratic equations

We ran a math dominoes competition.

We start the year with problems using weight, logic, and geometry.

We continue with questions using scales, logic and of course more geometry.

We cover more weighings and geometric constructions, as well as look at some problems using invariant solutions.

We cover more explicitly Invariant problems and a couple geometric constructions.

We will be playing a game today.

We are continuing with Invariant question and geometric constructions.

More on Invariants and a geometry drawing exercise.

We start learning basic counting methods in combinatorics.

He continue with combinations and how they relate to Pascal's triangle

We review our last worksheet and continue with Combination questions.

We cover the technique of stars and bars

We continue solving problems using the stars and bars method.

We play another midquarter game

We will continue with combinatorics and in particular, the method of using a Young tableau

We play an end of quarter game.
