Can you propose a specific curriculum?
- newprint 7y agoThere are numerous books devoted to Olympiad preparation, there are websites completely devoted to Olympiads, there are freely available problems sets (with complete solutions). To name the few: Hungarian Problem Books, Problem-Solving Strategies, Challenging Problems in Algebra, books by Titu Andreescu - a former US IMO coach, who published a lot of books on math and IMO prep, http://www.cut-the-knot.org/ http://www.cut-the-knot.org/
- lovehashbrowns 7y agoThank you for your suggestions. I purchased Challenging Problems in Algebra and a text book by Titu Andreescu. Looking at the kinds of problems in Olympiad, it seems like they'd actually be helpful and more fun to solve.
- sn9 7y agoThe Art of Problem Solving series of books is pretty much exactly what was described, is relatively affordable to an adult with disposable income, and they all come with complete solution manuals: https://artofproblemsolving.com/store/list/aops-curriculum https://artofproblemsolving.com/store/list/aops-curriculum You could spend a year or two doing ~20 problems per day while scheduling review of definitions you've understood and problems you've solved with spaced-repetition software like Anki. Afterwards, you'd be prepared for any undergraduate mathematics curriculum in the world.
