American Mathematics Competitions
Each year, the MSU Science Math Resource Center hosts the AMC 10/12 and the AMC 8 competitions. Both are part of the American Mathematics Competition series developed by the Mathematical Association of America. The series provides an opportunity for students to develop positive attitudes toward analytical thinking and mathematics that can assist in future careers. Students apply classroom skills to unique problem-solving challenges in a competitive atmosphere.
Students who excel on the AMC 10/12 may qualify to take the American Invitational Mathematics Examination.
