Algebra and Combinatorics Trail Mix

In this course, we will go over some common techniques used on mid AMC- to early AIME-level problems. Students will become familiar with methods and tricks that cover a variety of topics, especially in combinatorics and algebra. Topics include bijections, algebraic manipulation, using inequalities, sequences and series, and recursions.
