American Mathematics Competition (AMC)
Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2012
Piedmont High School, Room 31, 2:30 PM
Challenge yourself against the very best math students in the country. A self-selecting subset of approximately a half million students participate each year.
The AMC is a 75 minute, 25 question multiple-choice math contest, in two levels: grades 10 and under (AMC-10) and open (AMC-12). It is a popular contest, offered annually in high schools across the country. Designed for students who are interested and talented in math, the problems are based on typical high school curricula. Their difficulties range from medium to very hard. A few will challenge the creativity of any student.
Top performers will be invited to participate in the American Invitational Math Exam (AIME). A very few will be invited to try out for the USA Mathematics Olympiad. Prizes are awarded to the highest scorers in every school
For more information and sample problems, check out the web site: http://www.unl.edu/amc/.
How to participate
Just show up – although an email to Richard@rms-stat.com would be appreciated. There is no fee. Bring sharp pencils and scratch paper. Compass, ruler, and protractor are the only other tools allowed. (Rarely used, there will be some on hand to share.)
