Hello Codeforces!

How can I improve my math skills for CP?

My math skills are not very good at CP and I want to improve my math skills, but I don't know what kind of math is needed for CP.

Thank you!

Combinatrix, Number Theory and a bit of Geometry are the common topics of math that are used in CP. If you want to be good at them then obviously you should filter for these tags from problem set and solve as many problems as you could going from easy to hard.

I think you should read discrete math book by kenneth rosen, the book contains hundreds of exercises, you can start from there and slowly build your math skills.

I hope you will enjoy the journey, Good luck
