A math competition that America uses to get six team members for the international team to compete in IMO. If you do well you take the AIME then USAMO then the top twelve get into MOP, which is a camp. After that the top six go on to form the team. They are all incredibly hard. It is all for high school also. The topics covered in IMO were Geometry Algebra Graph theory Number theory Combinatorics I think that is it.
Which one was that again? I only got up to like 17. (>_>) One kid at our school got a perfect on the usamo in 2004 I think. Brian.
Man I am preparing for it next year though. I have to review everything. So no one else here took it?
Well not specifically for this, but just in general I am forgetting things that I learned long ago, so I want to review. Plus I am teaching my self calculus over the summer!
Sounds like a fun summer! Learning calculus should be awesome, I've always wondered about it in my spare time.
I took AMC 8 like 2 months ago. We still haven't gotten our results even though the teaches have them, but one of the teaches said I did really well, which makes me feel good since I finished at the same time as two people I always thought to be better than me at math.
A little. My class used one from a few years ago as a prep packet, and like most of the class got under 13. I got 16, along with the two people I mentioned.
If you were to study for something, I think studying for the SAT or ACT would be a little more important then this math thing. Unless you're super serial about it or you've already taken the SAT and ACT.
