Despite his username, I can assure you that conman is not a con man! His stuff is good! And despite some negative comments in other threads, he certainly has a lot of support. I would recommend his site. IT IS VERY GOOD.

And congratulations to Sen Lin for the Honourable Mention for the perfect score in Question 4 in the 2007 IMO, but also for coming first in the state in 2008 for Extension 1 & 2 Mathematics. Also to Matthew Menzies for his Silvers in the 2007 and 2008 IMOs, but also for the equal first for...

There are hundreds of papers available on the internet and some might think that is the challenge. But I'd like to issue you a different kind of challenge. Suppose you have just 1 paper. Do it perfectly even if it takes you weeks. Then do the same paper again, again and again, each time...

a minority. This is where the clash lies between Chris and Rodney. Chris would want at least some students to be able to complete the paper in the allocated time, whereas Rodney would expect that NOBODY can complete it in time. I'm on Chris's side on this issue. I don't want a paper to be...

They changed the exam committee recently so the 2006 and 2007 papers have been easier, but even still, Rodney is still saying they are too long. Many teachers are horrified by this and would support Chris when he says the exam should be able to be completed in the allocated time.

Many would say both. He died a few days after his 80th birthday in 2005.

In recent years this has also become controversial in the 2 unit paper, so much so that the Chief Examiner was given extra-ordinary permission from the President of the Board of Studies a few years ago to publish in the Daily Telegraph a defence of the length of the 2 unit paper. (Usually Chief...

At the 2008 MANSW conference hundreds of maths teachers had to endure quite a stark confusing message from the Board of Studies. On the one hand, Chris Thompson, a high ranking official from the Board of Studies said quite clearly that it is, always has been, and always will be a Board of...

Timothy Gowers speaks about it in the following mp3 (18.3 MB, 19min 58sec): http://www.press.princeton.edu/podcasts/Gowers/gowers.mp3 John Watkins from Colorado College calls it THE reference work in mathematics. It's already available as a free torrent download on the internet - and looks...

He's not a teacher. He's not even a mathematician. He's an IT support staff (System Administrator) for UCLA's Maths Department.

I have an older version of the same book. The line at the bottom simply says "J. Coroneos" The content is the same.

One would already have a book, say 1981-1987, so rather than have to buy a book every year, it's better just to buy the updates. MANSW are aware of this issue and release free lilac one-year-only versions to members only, as well as sell the 10-year version to students. Although members get a...

The good thing about the time when Coroneos was selling them from his shed out the back of his Old South Head Road residence was that back in those days you could buy individual years solutions for about $3 without having to buy the whole book. Unfortunately this is not available on the Coroneos...

Yes. I've got both books, as well as another one by Coroneos going back to 1981 with solutions - and another one, again by Coroneos dated 1963 with papers going back to 1956. He died in 2005, so solutions to papers from 2005 onwards are provided by head maths teachers. I've also got all the...
