    These videos are awesome, there are barely any channels explaining how to learn the techniques used in math competition problems. Most people just say "keep practicing problems" but they don't understand i don't yet know the theory required to solve those problems lol.

      My response to that would be what problems have you tried to solve? There's definitely a time and place for learning theory. You need to apply what you learn on problems at the same time.
      For example I made a theory of polynomials video series and the idea was for me to show you a couple of ideas that come up again and again. The next step is for you to fearlessly attack polynomial problems.
      Let me know if this clarification doesn't make sense to you.

      @@ShefsofProblemSolving Yes you are right. Most of the problem solving techniques don't come from reading books, but just trying (and sometimes failing) to solve problems.

    A really nice book for learning almost all of the theory tested in most of the Olympiads is Problem Solving Tactics by AMT

    Great advice
    But I think it would be great if you make theory and problem videos on algebra because there aren't many good books

      Give me specific topic suggestions and I might try to get to them at some point (I've already shot about 100 videos so it's going to take some time and organizing)
