<p>midwesterner, it might be too late, but I still want to do it. My high schools in NJ and CT doesn't have any AMC or math competitions, so I didn't hear about this stuff until much, much later on...which is tragic...</p>
<p>in response to midwester's post, does anyone know any math competitions still available/open b4 college deadlines and get results back?</p>
<p>USAMTS, mandelbrot for some rounds. go to artofproblemsolving.com if you want info on math contests.</p>
<p>ok, thanks lalaloo6.</p>
<p>Thanks lalaloo6 for the link.</p>
<p>Art</a> of Problem Solving</p>
<p>people there are obsessed with math and are very smart even smarter than CCers</p>
<p>USACO, which is basically the USAMO series but with computer science, also has some rounds before college applications are due. And their website is Programming</a> Contest. But these contests are a lot harder to get into than the math ones though, since you have to be able to know how to program already.</p>
<p>aww, shravas, i don't know any programming...i wish i do know how to program, but eh, i spent most of my time doing math or something else. :(</p>
<p>question then. other than the AMC/AIME/USAMO, are there any American math/programming competition we Canadians can participate in? there are plenty of Canadian ones that are easy and not very well known.</p>
<p>The USACO contests that are held during the year are open to anyone, so Canadians could do those. I actually think that like, only thirty percent of the people that participate in the regular USACO contests are actually from the US.</p>
<p>zephyravatar, the only other one I know of is ARML, a math team tournament held each June. There are one or two Canadian teams who go, but their selection criteria may be fairly strict, and you would also have to live in the right region. It's pretty high-level, as it's basically the national/North American championship tournament. If you're interested, ask around on AoPS (link above) about how to join or try out for the team.</p>
<p>The nice thing about ARML is that if you don't live in a region that has a team, you can form your own and travel to the tournament, as long as you can find 14 other like-minded students and the funding to get there.</p>
<p>hmmm, thanks. I doubt I could find 14 other students xD</p>
<p>USACO? I would definitely be interested, but how would I be able to sign up? Isn't it supposed to be hosted by our school? My school has a non-existent comp sci department >.<</p>
<p>The website is at Programming</a> Contest and it's all done over the internet, so there doesn't need to be any teacher involvement or anything, my school's "computer science" class is basically learning how to use word and stuff. And for ARML, there's already an Ontario team that you might be able to join if you live in Ontario.</p>
