Josh Miller, a freshman, qualified for the AIME by scoring in the top 2.5 percent of the American Mathematics Contest 10. The AIME was March 15.
This contest was established in 1973 as an intermediate step between the high school AMC 10 and AMC 12 contests and the U.S.A. Mathematical Olympiad. The AIME is a 15-question, three-hour examination in which each answer is an integer number from 0 to 999, students are very unlikely to obtain the correct answer by guessing.
The questions on the AIME cover high school mathematics and are much more difficult than those on the AMC 10 and AMC 12. All problems on the AIME can be solved by pre-calculus methods. The use of calculators is not allowed.
This contest leads to the USA(J)MO, Mathematical Olympiad Summer Program and the selection of the USA team sent to the International Mathematical Olympiad, the premier international high school level problem solving contest. This year the IMO will be held in Mar del Plata, Argentina, July 8-16.
According to Professor Steven Dunbar, who serves as director of the American Mathematics Competitions, the AIME is one of a series of contests sponsored each year by The Mathematical Association of America, through their program, the American Mathematics Competitions. The AMC offers the only math competition series in the country leading to the USA(J)MO and the Mathematical Olympiad Summer Program. From this group of students, the AMC sends the highly competitive USA Team to the prestigious annual International Mathematical Olympiad.
The AMC is located at the University of Nebraska – Lincoln. and receives direct financial contributions from The Mathematical Association of America, The Akamai Foundation, Academy of Applied Sciences, American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges, American Mathematical Society, American Statistical Association, Art of Problem Solving, Awesome Math, Casualty Actuarial Society, IDEA Math, Jane Street, Math For America, Mu Alpha Theta, National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, Pi Mu Epsilon and W. H. Freeman and Company. The contests are given across the U.S.A, Canada and in many schools abroad.
Details concerning the 2012 AIME contests for High School, as well as the rest of AMC’s programs, are available on the AMC website amc.maa.org[[In-content Ad]]
