A&M Math Contest

DATE: Saturday, November 9, 2019. (oh shoot this is outdated)

Subject Exams:

The subject exams are multiple question, short response tests. Answers must be given in simplified form (rationalized denominators, etc.); calculators are not allowed.

Five versions of the test will be offered - AB, BC, CD, DE, and EF. A student may take any examination which includes any course for which he/she is presently enrolled. The only exception to this is the EF exam which is open to any student.

Best Student:

The Best Student exams are multiple question, short response tests containing a wide variety of problems requiring somewhat more ingenuity than the subject area tests. There are Open and Closed divisions. The Closed division is limited to students who have not completed the tenth grade. In addition to trophies and ribbons, the top two students in each division will be given books. Furthermore, the top two students in the Open division will each receive a $1000 scholarship to study mathematics at Texas A&M University.

Power Team Rules:

Each school may enter team(s) of up to six students (per team). Each team collaborates on one or more open-ended problems, which allow the team to devise appropriate examples, make conjectures, and prove (or attempt to prove) their conjectures.

Team participants are not allowed to consult with anyone but their team mates. Participants are not allowed to look on the web for any information regarding the power team exam, nor are they allowed to search books or other reference materials. Team entries are expected to be neat and legible. If not, they face the possibility of being disqualified by the judges.

Power Team Exams will be posted for the participating teams to download one week prior to the contest. Teams will have until the day of the contest to formulate their responses.

All hand delivered submissions are due by 9:15 am on the day of the contest!
