AoPS Wiki:Words of the Week

Revision as of 13:24, 6 September 2007 by Rrusczyk (talk | contribs) (AoPSWiki:WotW moved to AoPSWiki:WoW: WoW!)

The AoPSWiki Words of the Week are the "featured" words on AoPSWiki for the week. We will typically select one mathematical term and one "other" topic (a contest, a summer camp, a problem-solving strategy, etc.)

All AoPSWiki users are particularly encouraged to edit the pages for the Words of the Week.

Words of the Week for Sep 6-12

Editing tips

For mathematical topics

  • Don't just define! Give examples.
  • Have lots of links to other related topics. Have links to other wiki pages that talk about terms that you use. Edit those other pages too!

For other topics

  • For contests: describe
    • how the contest works
    • who runs it
    • a bit about its history
    • what types of students can/should participate
    • any prizes
    • other related contests
    • a link to the contest's website
  • For summer camps:
    • Nuts and bolts: where, how long, how much
    • Compare to other summer camps
    • Try to be objective. The forum is a place to give your opinions. The wiki is a place to give facts.
