The top row of the map consists of our core curriculum, which parallels the standard prealgebra-to-calculus school curriculum, but in much greater depth both in mathematical content and in problem-solving skills. For this reason, we often recommend that a new AoPS student who has already taken a course at his or her local school "retake" the same-named course in our online school. Students should then proceed through our core curriculum in left-to-right order, and should take other non-core courses as desired.
Our math courses fall into two categories:
  • Our subject courses (in green on the map) each offer a thorough exploration of a particular subject. Each course follows an AoPS textbook (except where noted). Students receive personalized written feedback to weekly homework assignments. At the Introductory level, these courses are linked to Alcumus, our online adaptive learning system.
  • Our contest preparation courses (in blue on the map) are designed for students preparing for specific math contests. These courses cover more topics, but offer less depth, than our subject courses. These courses do not use textbooks, and students do not receive personalized feedback, although there are weekly practice problems.
Still unsure? Please contact us for a specific recommendation.

Subject Course Recommendations

To determine where a student should start within our subject course curriculum, please view the appropriate section below and refer to the diagnostic tests for each individual course.

Contest Preparation Recommendations

Our contest preparation courses are designed for students seeking to improve their results in math competitions. They are intended as supplementary practice and as a way to learn general problem-solving skills, rather than as a complete mathematics curriculum. Students who wish to more thoroughly cover the content and problem-solving skills on these contests should take the overlapping subject classes from our course map above.
Please select the specific contest below for advice on which contest prep course to take.

Computer Programming
