Intro to Programming

Who are you?

You’re interested in math and want to dive into programming but don’t know where to start.

What's included?

Overview of Programming Competitions.
Main programming concepts: variables, conditional statements, arrays and loops
Input/Output: how to write programs that are accepted by automatic judging systems.
Understanding Code Efficiency: Introduction to Big-O notation.
Debugging 101.
20+ competition-style problems so you are prepared for real competitions!

Group classes (in person) – $50/hour

Who are you?

You’re a novice programmer with a foundation in math, eager to test your logical and algorithmic skills in USACO, ACSL and other competitions.

What's included?

Problem Solving: how to break a problem into smaller parts
Naive algorithms: greedy algorithms, brute force algorithms, recursive algorithms
Sorting: basic sorting algorithms and their big-O.
Using built-in data structures: dict/map, set, list/vector.
Input/Output: parsing and formatting non-standard data
Debugging 102.
40+ problems covering the topics above.

Group classes (in person) – $50/hour

Who are you?

You’re a confident programmer with a firm base in both math and computer science, ready to dive deeper into complex algorithms and data structures.

What's included?

Advanced Problem Solving
Intermediate algorithms: complex sorting, linear and binary search, dynamic programming
Graph Theory basics: shortest path algorithms and graph representations
Number Theory basics: prime factorization, GCD/LCM, Euclidean algorithm
Data Structures: prefix sums, interval trees, disjoint set union and others
10+ training contests with real problems from recent USACO Silver competitions (courtesy of USACO organizers)

Individual Lessons (in person) – $100/hour

Once you graduate from (or test out of) our silver class, we will work with you individually on the more advanced material.
