The American Mathematical Competition (AMC) was organized by the American Mathematical Association (MAA) and originated from 1950. At present, 300,000 students from more than 6,000 schools around the world participate in the competition every year, making it one of the most influential youth mathematics competitions in the world. There are AMC8, AMC 10/ 12, AIME and USAMO\USAJMO in the series of American mathematics competitions, among which AMC8 is held every year in 165438+ 10, mainly for junior high school and senior primary school students below grade 8 (grade 2); AMC 10/ 12 is held in February every year, mainly for high school students below 10 (Grade One) and 12 (Grade Three); AIME and USAMO\USAJMO are mainly the promotion matches of AMC 10/ 12 excellent students and the trials of the national team of the United States Mathematical Olympiad.
Because of its rigorous and simple design, AMC can not only make students of any level feel challenged in the exam, but also comprehensively and objectively examine their mathematical ability, and can also select unique talents from the test questions to enter the American national team of the International Mathematical Olympiad. Now AMC has become not only the talent pool of top mathematics talents in the United States, but also the basis for evaluating applicants' academic performance in mathematics. Because the results of AMC examination are internationally accepted, taking AMC examination all over the world has become an important way for students to increase their experience in international competitions, enhance their academic background and improve their competitiveness in admission.
