Things to do
The Inequalities need skeleton pages set up. Can someone help my math parsing on the Power mean inequality? It is really messing up.
-PenguinIntegral
The Polynomials page needs a skeleton too...
-chess64
What does everyone think of me using AIME problems to illistrate mathematical concepts like completing the square?
Also, remind me to deface the Richard R. page by refering to him as God.
I'll do that later.
-PenguinIntegral
Hey, I'm not sure exactly how to format this page...but I edited the completing the square page somewhat (btw there are some Latex problems that someone (not me) needs to fix), anyone else have feedback?
I like your idea of using sample problems, but I don't really understand what the sample problem you placed in the Completing the square page has to do with the topic...
-eryaman
Yeah, it probably would have been nice if I explained how the solution uses adding/subtracting to factor, of which completing the square is a special case.
Someone smart should fix that.
Does anyone have ideas for new topics? I think we should split up the wiki like the USAMO problem subjects: Combo and Probability, Algebra and Polynomials, Functions, Inequalities, Geometry, and Number Theory. I think Adeel will basically write up the entire Algebra and NT sections in 5 nanoseconds, because he so good at it, so I'll look into starting a page on counting strategies.
Always use example problems; they really reinforce the material and prepare the reader for using them in a contest setting.
(Ok, I just made that up. But it feels good to start a fad)

"I think Adeel will basically write up the entire Algebra and NT sections in 5 nanoseconds, because he so good at it..." uh actually no i'm not but i guess i'll work on it
