Olympiad Training for Beginners

A 10-week course to prepare students for the Bangladesh National Mathematical Olympiad, in collaboration with Abdullah Al Rafi Mahmud and Tahmid Hameem Chowdhury Zarif. We will cover the basic theories for the Junior, Secondary and Higher Secondary catagories. This course is designed for beginners who have participated and performed well in Regional olympiads before. The course will be challenging, and the students will require to spend about 10 hours a week to cope up with the materials.

Schedule:

	Date	Time
Theory Class	Monday	5:00pm - 7:00pm
Discussion Class	Friday	5:00pm - 7:00pm
Weekly problem set submission	Wednesday	11:59pm
*This schedule is subject to change, and students will be notified of any changes
