Hi everyone,
Thanks to those of you who came to Sunday's practice at Stanford. This week, we used the 2002 and 2008 team and relay rounds and the 2002 power round.
I have posted practice materials from the last practice at http://stanford.edu/~moorxu/2011ARML/, and I also include the 2003 test that was used at the practice on April 30. The site will ask you to log in; use username = sfba and password = arml. Please take a look at the tests and work out some of the problems.
Each week, we will assign some homework problems will be done outside of practices. For this week, please do the 2002, 2003, and 2008 individual rounds (downloadable from the link above). Please work on the problems under testing conditions (time yourselves and avoid distractions) and submit your answers to the following forms:
2002 individuals: https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?hl=en&formkey=dFYtMTVmbWF3Nkk5Sk4zSkttaVVxQlE6MQ#gid=0
2003 individuals: https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?hl=en&formkey=dFFHTFIzMGNTTVI4RVdpdlFiemdqVXc6MA#gid=0
2008 individuals: https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?hl=en&formkey=dENxYXo5YU93OGNWLVM4bVBjMXlOVXc6MA#gid=0
There will also be a proof writing workshop at the next practice for those of you who want to learn more about writing proofs. In preparation for this workshop, please carefully write up a solution to the latest proof problem that you know how to do (out of problems 1b, 3, 4a, 4b, 5, 6, 7, 8a, 8b, 10, 11, 12) from the 2002 power round (downloadable from the link above) and bring your solution to the next practice. If you cannot attend this practice, you can email your solution (scan or typed) to Nick Wu (huaiyu.wu2010@gmail.com) for comments.
Regarding practice dates: I understand that some of you are unable to attend Sunday afternoon practices, and I am working to possibly reschedule a practice to a different time. However, due to a number of unavoidable conflicts, the next practice will remain at May 15th from 2pm to 5pm at Stanford. Future practice dates will be finalized soon.
Finally, SFBA ARML does have its own AoPS forum at http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/Forum/viewforum.php?f=670, and I encourage you to use it for discussion. This is a private forum. If you do not yet have access, send me your AoPS username and I will grant access.
