American Mathematical competitions (amc) seeks to strengthen the math capabilities of our nation's youth, we identify, recognize and reward excellence in math through a series of national contests. About 400,000 students from 6,000 schools compete annually in one or more of these tests targeting the average to the most gifted math student. The culmination of these tests is the selection, training and international competition of the six students who represent the us. The us team is usually among the top 3 teams. The maa-amc also selects and sponsors teams that participate in the china girl's math olympiad.
