AoPS Online is not just an online chatroom where hard mathematics is discussed. It is a community. It is a teaching system designed around a central hierarchy (as opposed to a top-down one) where the professor’s influence stimulates student discussion with the purpose of encouraging refined patterns of thinking.

In this focused, digital space, students avoid distractions and become numbers, thoughts, connections, and fractals that form a world-wide web of learning. Eventually, the knowledge that is moderated by the teachers and gathered by these student minds will ripple out to serve the world and society at large in solving its most pressing problems.

This sort of grand vision forms the image of a harmonious, interconnected fractal in which the smallest particles bind to create the biggest changes.
