Hi!

I’m a junior in high school. I've competed in competition math since 3rd grade. In middle school, I won MATHCOUNTS individual awards, and I'm a 2 (hopefully 3 if MAA will ever release this year's AMC scores) time AIME qualifier. I recently completed a major project of mine: a textbook called Getting Started with Competition Math.

The book is intended to cover all the topics needed to immerse oneself in the world of competition math, at an introductory level. The book has 276 pages, and costs $20 on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09PMLFHX2). It splits topics into four main categories: algebra, geometry, combinatorics, and number theory. All material covered is done so in a manner that assumes the reader has limited to no prior knowledge, other than what the book has taught up until that point. The level of knowledge expected is around middle school math in the USA.

Many of the books currently available for competition math study are much more advanced than mine. While this is great for those further along in their journey, I remember feeling overwhelmed when I was just starting out. This book is for those of you that feel the same way; it's a more fundamental, basic introduction to get you in a good place to move on to more advanced books.

Thanks for checking out my book! Should you choose to purchase, I would greatly appreciate any feedback so I can improve future editions / new books in the works, whether here or through an Amazon review.
