Competition Math - the best way to learn math

Competition math involves solving challenging and creative problems within a competitive setting, covering topics beyond standard school curricula. This format sends competitors to the frontiers of math and science by encouraging innovative thinking, fostering a community, and promoting a love for math.

Founders of Scale AI, Perplexity AI, and Cognition AI all started their journeys as competitive learners, and picked up the problem solving skills they would eventually need by doing these competitions.

This is why 300,000 high schoolers take the American Math Competitions annually, and elite universities recruit high performers. In fact, competitive math and programming are the primary skills tested in trading and software job interviews!

Competitive Learning hasn't reached most Humans

Humans want to learn, and humans are competitive. Why, then, do most not enter competitive learning circuits? We talked to parents, teachers, coaches, and students, and they told us:

• “The problems are too hard”
• “The barrier to entry is too high”
• “What if I look stupid”
• "I'm too busy"

MathDash makes Competitive Math accessible for everyone

• Problem difficulty ranges from addition all the way to advanced theory
• MathDash only requires a device with an internet connection
• You compete against others at your level, and your main goal is to improve your rating
• The contests happen every day, and you can play an arena match live instantly at any time! Total time for a match is 2 minutes.
