Competition Math

Instructor

Hi! My name is Siddharth Chukkayapally and I will be your instructor for the competition math course. I am a junior at Green Hope High School, and in my free time, I like to play sports, spend time with friends & family, and engage in problem-solving activities such as competition math. I believe that competition math can help with a variety of useful life skills including critical thinking, time management, and teamwork. In this course, we will be going over the fundamentals of competition math such as problem-solving process and basic algebra, geometry, combinatorics, and number theory. My qualifications include a 1600 SAT, 2x AIME qualifications, an AMC 10 honor roll, and 5th place at MATHCOUNTS States
