Welcome to Episode 11 of Season 1: Unlocking Number Theory! This video covers inequalities and functional equations, along with telescoping series, for math competition preparation. It introduces key theorems like the AM-GM and Cauchy-Schwarz inequalities and demonstrates their use in problem-solving. The text also explores various functional equation strategies, emphasizing the importance of substituting values. Telescoping series techniques, including partial fraction decomposition, are explained and illustrated through examples. The concepts are reinforced with practice problems sourced from past math competitions like AIME and HMMT. The video is designed to equip students with tools and strategies for tackling advanced mathematical problems in contests.
