Overcoming Perfectionism: This information package is designed to help you understand what is helpful and unhelpful about being a perfectionist. The goal is not for you to give up your high standards altogether but to learn to pursue healthy high standards rather than unrelenting high standards that negatively impact your life. This package is organised into modules that are designed to be worked through in sequence. We recommend that you complete one module before going on to the next. Each module includes information, worksheets, and suggested exercises or activities.
In this module, we will be helping you weigh up the costs and benefits of staying the same and the costs and benefits of changing your perfectionism. We will also be telling you what will be involved if you decide to change your perfectionism.
In this module we will take a step back and look at the impact of perfectionism on your life. We will examine the tendency to over-evaluate the importance of achieving your unrelenting standards and offer you some strategies to create a more balanced life and a more balanced basis for judging your self-worth. We will then be looking at another way of thinking about perfectionism: as an overarching set of beliefs, or a mindset.
On the other hand, there are books for the IMO. But they assume youhave a really strong olympiad mathematics background, and they areonly there to prepare you for the IMO. They're basically composed ofone or two lines of theory per chapter, and then a huge list of hardexercises and problems. I don't need these either: I'm not even nearthe IMO calliber, and the solutions to the problem seems to rely ontheorems and techniques that aren't taught in high school.
A book that covers this list of topics is what I am trying to find. I've never heard about any of these topics, though they seem to be essential for math competitions. Also, I've never found any book that covers them.
But if that's the case, I also want to make it clear that I'm not looking for a book that teaches you college Algebra, college Number Theory, etc. I want something that covers topics that appear on a math competition, but doesn't assume anything other than high school maths.
I personally got a lot out of Engel's Problem Solving Strategies in high school. People also seem to like Zeitz's The Art and Craft of Problem Solving, or at least they used to back in the day, but I haven't read it myself.
I think that if you have time, the best you can do is find a bank of problems somewhere, try to attack them all and give yourself the solution if you feel the problem is out of your range. Each time you read a solution, try not only to understand it, but try to understand from what angle should one have attacked the problem in order to obtain the solution. That will not only show you new proof techniques, but also new ways to think about a problem whose solution you don't have.
That website you linked (brilliant) looks brilliant! You should try to master all the identities and techniques described there if you plan on taking on a contest, I believe they're all going to be useful. That's the best I can say.
Three months ago I posted a free pdf of Index to Mathematical Problems 1975-1979 edited by Stanley Rabinowitz and me. It doesn't give solutions but has lots of challenging problems arranged by subject, with plenty of internal hyperlinks for easy navigation.
These pamphlets are aimed at Oxford and Cambridge entrants, so are slightly off-topic, but they are aimed at moving from high-school to proof-based, deeper maths. I use them in teaching maths clubs here in the UK. They both contain many many commented-upon problems, which is one of the best ways to approach Olympiad material, and are free!
This is a textbook in probability in high dimensions with a view toward applications in data sciences. It is intended for doctoral and advanced masters students and beginning researchers in mathematics, statistics, electrical engineering, computer science, computational biology and related areas, who are looking to expand their knowledge of theoretical methods used in modern research in data sciences.
Data sciences are moving fast, and probabilistic methods often provide a foundation and inspiration for such advances.A typical graduate probability course is no longer sufficient to acquire the level of mathematical sophistication that is expected from a beginning researcher in data sciences today. The proposed book intends to partially cover this gap. It presents some of the key probabilistic methods and resultsthat should form an essential toolbox for a mathematical data scientist. This book can be used as a textbookfor a basic second course in probability with a view toward data science applications. It is also suitable for self-study.
The essential prerequisites for reading this book are a rigorous coursein probability theory (on Masters or Ph.D. level), an excellent command of undergraduate linear algebra, and general familiarity with basic notions about Hilbert and normed spaces and linear operators. Knowledge of measure theory is not essential but is helpful.
It is the final semester of Jason Carillo's, Kyle Meeks's, and Nelson Glassman's senior year of high school. In the beginning they write letters expressing their past experiences and their current issues. They face the issues of coming out to the public, deciding which college to go to, and the ever-present threat of HIV/AIDS.
Nelson is relieved to discover he does not have HIV, but his boyfriend Jeremy is HIV-positive. Nelson thinks Jeremy is pushing him away when Jeremy is just afraid of infecting Nelson. Nelson's mother keeps wanting to meet Jeremy and approves of their romantic relationship until she discovers that he is positive. After a while, Nelson suspects Jeremy wants to break up with him, so decides to break up with Jeremy first. They meet in a cafe and Nelson still is undecided about breaking up with Jeremy but eventually Jeremy decides to break up their relationship. Nelson is hurt when Jeremy is immediately content with the idea. Jeremy and Nelson stay friends (or try to), and go to the prom on a platonic date. He is also upset because his best friend Kyle might be going to Princeton without him, leaving him to go to Tech (a boring, nerdy school in his opinion) alone. He feels insecure about his loneliness and his friends, and feels a little left out sometimes. Nelson ultimately decides to not go to Tech since he wants to figure out what he wants to do with his life.
Kyle faces the problem of deciding which college to go to: Princeton or Tech. Jason may be going to Tech, so Kyle invests his hope in the possibility of going to Tech with him and his best friend Nelson. He encourages Jason to come out and hopes that he and Jason will be able to be open about their relationship. There are also problems on the swim team when someone has their parent write a letter to the coach saying that they don't want to shower with a homosexual, forcing Kyle to wait until he gets home to shower. When the team stays in a hotel for a big swim meet, Kyle gets upset when his teammates refuse to share a room with him and almost walks out of frustration. Coach threatens to take him out of the meet and calls Kyle's father. Kyle apologizes (his father has told him to) and he is able to swim in the meet. Later Kyle's father talks to the swim Coach and defends his son and his son's homosexuality. In the end, Kyle decides to go to Princeton, and goes to the prom with Jason.
Jason wants to come out to the team but is afraid that he will lose his scholarship from Tech. He tells his Coach who handles it very well and so does the team. The team wins state. Jason and Debra have a civil conversation. Jason's confused on why Kyle would give up Princeton for him. He doesn't want Kyle to throw his life away. Jason gives a TV interview about his homosexuality and when asked if he has a boyfriend, he says no. Kyle is upset about this. When the team wins state, he and Kyle kiss on the court which makes up for the interview. Jason's mother is still having a hard time accepting his sexuality. Tech takes his scholarship away saying that it was due to an altercation earlier that year. Jason thinks that this is false. He and Kyle finally go to the prom together. Then he and Kyle have sex together.
High Interest/Low Reading Level books (also known as Hi-Lo books) are written at a lower reading level, featuring shorter sentences and a basic vocabulary, while also appealing to older audiences through high-interest mature themes and characters. We use the Lexile's HL prefix to identify Hi-Lo books to include in this section.
It is incredibly important to teach race, racism, and anti-racism within students at all ages. I am very fortunate to have such incredible secondary colleagues that teach ethnic studies to their high school and middle school students. Throughout my time working with them and other experiences, I have read so many books about race, racism, and anti-racism. I am hoping that you are able gather some resources from this Anti-Racist Books for Middle and High School Students post.
With the calling for anti-racism in education, Colorful Pages and I have gotten countless (and I am talking countless) requests for an Anti-Racist Book List! It has taken me a long time to get this list together because, when talking about race, racism, and anti-racism, it has to be done right. I am splitting up this Anti-Racist Book List into two posts: one for elementary students and one for middle school and high school students. Every book on this list is written by an author of color because I feel we, as Black Indigenous, People of Color, need to be the ones to tell these stories since we are the ones that have experienced the racism discussed within them. I have listed 18 books for middle school and high school students: 5 diverse books about race and identity; 8 books about racism, prejudice, and anti-racism in a modern context; and 5 books about racism, prejudice, and anti-racism in a historical context.
