Geometry Contest

Editorial Policy

Our Mission

Geometry Contest exists to make accurate, accessible geometry resources available to anyone who wants to learn. Every article is built to two standards at once: rigorous enough that a serious student can rely on it, and plainly worded enough that a newcomer can finish it without a textbook beside them.

Who Writes for Us

Our articles are produced by the Geometry Contest editorial team — mathematicians and teachers who have coached competition geometry and marked the papers that come out of it. Occasional guest contributions are clearly attributed to their author and reviewed by our editorial team before publication.

Sourcing

We base our articles on current best evidence and established practice, drawing from:

  • Standard competition and olympiad geometry problem sets, and their published solutions
  • Classical and modern geometry texts, including the Euclidean canon
  • Official rules and syllabi published by competition organizers
  • Peer-reviewed mathematics education research on spatial reasoning and proof instruction

Where a topic is contested, in flux, or recently revised, we say so in the article itself.

Use of AI Tools

We sometimes use AI tools to help with drafting, copy-editing, fact-pattern checking, or generating illustrative material. AI is never the final word — every published article is reviewed end-to-end by a human editor against the underlying sources. We do not publish AI-generated content that has not been read and verified by a human.

Corrections & Updates

We treat factual corrections as a priority — if you spot an error, tell us and we'll fix it, acknowledging it inline where appropriate. For substantive updates, we note the change at the top of the affected article.

Independence

Geometry Contest is editorially independent. If we publish sponsored content, partner material, or affiliate links, that relationship is disclosed at the point of mention and never affects how we cover a topic.
