š About Walt S.
Iām a Stanford Ph.D. graduate who participated in math team to USAMO, and the problem solving skills I learned in high school competition math helped me all through college, grad school and career in microelectronics. I still enjoy launching into a BAMO or USAMO problem, working various hunches, and sometimes finding a novel solution.
š¤Thinking by analogy comes easy because the brain is tuned to finding association, but analogy is not good at finding new things. True discoveries in STEM are found by a creative mix of deduction, induction, elimination, inference and good guessing, so competition math is a great way to push those skills. I hope this video series helps you find the fun and challenge in competition math and reap its many rewards.
