Alcumus: The Art of Problem Solving

alcumus

Alcumus is specifically designed to provide high-performing students with a challenging curriculum appropriate to their abilities. 

Many of the problems are from major national math competitions such as MATHCOUNTS, MOEMS, the American Mathematics Competitions, and the Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing competitions. 

As the student gets stronger, Alcumus automatically provides more challenging material, and conversely, if the student is having difficulty with a particular topic, Alcumus provides additional practice.
