Latest news and updates

 * Alma Challenge Deadline
 * A reminder that September's Alma Challenge will be due on or before September 28, 2007.


 * Proofs Lecture
 * In preparation for the Michigan Mathematics Prize Competition, which will be held on December 6, 2006, Discussion Notes on Proofs have been uploaded. Take time to understand and study these important methods of mathematical proof.


 * Site URL change
 * Our site address has now changed to http://olympiads.wikia.com . However, it can still be accessed using the old address, http://olympiad.wikia.com.


 * "Math Type" on the computer
 * Having trouble typing math on the computer the way it is written? With the implemented Mathematical Formula function when editing a page, complex equations like

$$\prod_{j=0}^{k-1}\cos(2^j x)=\frac{\sin(2^k x)}{2^k\sin(x)}$$
 * are rendered beautifully using a markup language called LaTeX. An extensive page on LaTeX markup can be found at WikiMedia.


 * Weekly Challenge
 * Test your knowledge and skills through the Weekly Challenge. Fantastic prizes and raffle drawings will be given both for high scores and participation.

The Pythagorean Theorem, sometimes known as Pythagoras' Theorem, is a famous relationship among the legs, $$a$$ and $$b$$, and the hypotenuse, $$c$$, of a right triangle. For any such triangle, the equality $$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$$ holds.

Pythagoras' Theorem has a wide array of uses in mathematics, usually applied as a crucial step in many geometrical problems. Dozens of proofs have been developed to show this identity, many of which are featured in Wikipedia's article. (more...)

Logo
Shown here is a proposed Math Olympiad logo for 2006-2007. Please click on the picture to enlarge. The alluring arrangement of circles comprising the logo is called the "Seed of Life". According to Mathworld, this image is one of the beautiful arrangements of circles found at the Temple of Osiris at Abydos, Egypt. The pattern also appears in Italian art from the 13th century. Assigning variables to the intersecting points integrates mathematics with the beauty of the design.

Please discuss whether to retain the current logo "Wiki Math Olympiad", or replace it with this one. Also, feel free to upload a logo of your own.
