About

Main article: AoPSWiki:About

What makes AoPSWiki different from other math-related wikis and web resources is that the AoPSWiki is more involved in problem-solving techniques than most other math dictionaries or math encyclopedias (which are usually written on the level of professional mathematicians).

Getting Started

• The AoPSWiki tutorial contains basic information about editing the wiki, including general syntax help.
• To begin uploading and adding solutions to contest problems, take a look at AoPSWiki:Contest Problems Standards.
• Different namespaces include the talk, template, and category namespaces. Each serves to a different purpose.
• Learn what AoPSWiki is not a place for.
• For other information regarding wikis, see theMediaWiki help contents.

Help Out

As a fairly new wiki, the AoPSWiki needs the help of many contributors. Here are some ways to help improve the quality of the AoPSWiki.

Create an non-existant article. Edit existing articles to fix errors (both grammatical and mistakes) or to add more information. De-stub a short article. Create and upload relevant images. Add solutions to problems that lack them. Support the AoPSWiki. Spread the word about the AoPSWiki.
