American Mathematics Competitions

The American Mathematics Competitions (AMC) are a series of mathematics contests aimed primarily at middle and high school students in the United States. Organized by the Mathematical Association of America, these competitions encourage problem-solving skills and mathematical thinking through challenging questions. The AMC includes different levels: AMC 8 for middle schoolers, and AMC 10 and 12 for high school students. Performance in these competitions can lead to further opportunities, such as the American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIME) and the United States Math Olympiad (USAMO), fostering a strong interest in mathematics and academic excellence.
