Official site with more information and practice: www.mathallstar.org.Remainder does not seem to be a big topic in school math. However, in competition math, it is. Almost every contest at middle school and high school level has remainder related problems. For example, in 2017 AMC 10B, out of total 25 problems, at least 3 are related to this topic: the 14th, 23rd, and 25th.Modular arithmetic is a branch in mathematics which studies remainders and tackles related problems. However, this important subject is not taught in schools. Consequently, many students rely on their intuition when attempting to solve such problems. This is clearly not the best situation.This book aims to provide a complete coverage of this topic at the level which is suitable for middle school and high school students. Contents will include both theoretical knowledge and practical techniques. Therefore, upon completion, students will have a solid skill base to solve related problems in math competitions.More information, including table of contents, pre-assessment etc, can be found at http: //www.mathallstar.org
