To echo a famous mountaineer: it's there -- will you climb?

Preliminaries

If you’re reading this, one of these things has happened:

• You want to be the very best (in math), that no one ever was!
• You’ve been admitted into your school math varsity and you want to know what you got yourself into.
• You’ve accumulated experience in a few contests, but you’re stuck in a rut and you don’t know what the next step is.

From Solvespace to Project Phi

After a satisfactory run as Solvespace and a short hiatus (a student must have priorities) this blog has reached the point where I can rebrand and finally call it what I've always wanted to: Project Phi.

What's New

• Refurbished About page.
• An entirely new series, Mathletes' Greatest Secrets Finally Revealed.
• An entirely new section, The Codex, "premiering" after MGSFR concludes.
• Posts about math will often involve several sample problems, and generally will be longer.
• PDF versions will be furnished for MGSFR, Codex articles, and new math posts.
• A difficulty scale has been implemented and retroactively applied to the older problem posts.
