Free Mathematics Competition |
The USA Mathematical Talent Search (USAMTS) is a free mathematics competition open to
all US middle and high school students. As opposed to most mathematics competitions, the
USAMTS allows students a full month, or more, to work out their solutions. Carefully written
justifications are required for each problem. The problems range in difficulty from being within
the reach of most middle and high school students to challenging the best students in the
nation. Students may use any materials—books, calculators, computers—but all the work must
be their own. Students’ solutions to the problems are graded by mathematicians, and
comments are returned to the students. The USAMTS is a program of the Art of Problem
Solving Foundation. The goal is to help all students develop their problem-solving skills,
improve their technical writing abilities and mature mathematically while having fun. The
competition is intended to foster not only insight, ingenuity and creativity, but also the virtue
of perseverance, which is equally essential in scientific endeavors. Participants in the USAMTS
are eligible for various prizes, such as books and software. Visit the website to view current or
past problems, or to register (for free) for the contest.
Deadline: Register at any time; problems must be completed within one month after
registration.
