Welcome to the Art of Problem Solving bookstore! Books for eager students of mathematics in grades 4-12 Art of Problem Solving (AoPS) texts are designed for outstanding math students and present a broader and deeper mathematics education than the standard curriculum. The AoPS texts have been used by thousands of top students in contests such as MATHCOUNTS and the AMC.
Introduction to Algebra by Richard Rusczyk Learn the basics of algebra from former USA Mathematical Olympiad winner and Art of Problem Solving founder Richard Rusczyk. Topics covered in the book include linear equations, ratios, quadratic equations, special factorizations, complex numbers, graphing linear and quadratic equations, linear and quadratic inequalities, functions, polynomials, exponents and logarithms, absolute value, sequences and series, and much more!
As you'll see in the excerpts below, the text is structured to inspire the reader to explore and develop new ideas. Each section starts with problems, giving the student a chance to solve them without help before proceeding. The text then includes solutions to these problems, through which algebraic techniques are taught. Important facts and powerful problem solving approaches are highlighted throughout the text. In addition to the instructional material, the book contains well over 1000 problems. The solutions manual contains full solutions to all of the problems, not just answers.
This book can serve as a complete Algebra I course, and also includes many concepts covered in Algebra II. Middle school students preparing for MATHCOUNTS, high school students preparing for the AMC, and other students seeking to master the fundamentals of algebra will find this book an instrumental part of their mathematics libraries.
About the author: Richard Rusczyk is a co-author of Art of Problem Solving, Volumes 1 and 2, the author of Art of Problem Solving's Introduction to Geometry, and the founder of www.artofproblemsolving.com. He was a national MATHCOUNTS participant, a USA Math Olympiad winner, and is currently director of the USA Mathematical Talent Search.
ISBN: 978-1-934124-01-7 Text: 656 pages. Solutions: 312 pages. Paperback. 10 7/8 x 8 3/8 x 1 3/16 inches.

The '''Regional Mathematical Olympiad''' or '''Regional Mathematics Olympiad''' or '''RMO''' is a set of regional-level Olympiads held in India as a qualifying round for the [[Indian National Mathematical Olympiad]], which in turn is a qualifying round for the [[International Mathematical Olympiad Training Camp]] (IMOTC), where students are selected for representing India at the [[International Mathematical Olympiad]].
== Regions ==
Currently, the RMO is held in eighteen regions:
* Andhra Pradesh
* Bihar
* Delhi
* Gujarat
* Karnataka
* Kerala
* Maharashtra (except Mumbai) + Goa
* Mumbai
* Madhya Pradesh
* North Eastern States (Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, Manipur)
* Orissa
* Punjab (Includes Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and the Union territory of Chandigarh)
* Rajasthan
* Tamil Nadu
* Uttar Pradesh
* West Bengal
* Kendriya Vidyalay Schools
* Navodaya Schools
==Rules ==
All students who are still in school are eligible for the RMO. A total of thirty students is selected from each state, based on performance at the RMO, to sit for the INMO. The MO Cell has imposed a restriction that each region is allowed to send at most six students from Class 12 for the INMO.
The [[Mathematical Olympiad Cell]] (MO Cell) (which is responsible for conducting the [[Indian National Mathematical Olympiad]] and the IMOTC) prepares a paper for the Regional Mathematical Olympiad. The co-ordinator of every region has the option of either following the MO Cell's paper or preparing his/her own paper. If the co-ordinator chooses to use the MO Cell's paper, then the examination must be conducted on a fixed date and time as prescribed by the MO Cell. This is usually the first Sunday of December, 1:00 - 4:00 p.m.
===Level of the problems===
The RMO has the same topics as the International Mathematical Olympiad: [[algebra]], [[geometry]], [[number theory]] and [[combinatorics]]. However, the paper prepared by the MO Cell usually does not assume strong prerequisites beyond what is covered up to the eleventh standard syllabus. Individual regions that have greater expectations from students and that have instituted training programmes, may set papers with more prerequisites.
