WAMC Teams rank #2 and #5 at BrUMO
Please join me in congratulating our WAMC teams on their performance at BrUMO on April 4, 2025.
Brown University Math Olympiad (BrUMO) is a high school team competition organized by Brown University students. In this inaugural year, there were 45 teams and 240 students competing. WAMC had three teams of 6 students each participating.
It is my privilege to congratulate our teams on their outstanding results - placing 2nd and 5th overall!
Not only did our teams do well, but Jack Whitney-Epstein, Alexander Svoronos, and Ethan Shi placed among the top 10 competitors. This is especially remarkable, as both Alex and Ethan are only in middle school. Big congratulations also go to Girish Prasad (top 10%) and Yunong Wu, Joseph Girotto, Alwin Jing, and Srihaan Seelam (top 20%)

We are often asked what ages our math circle meetings are for. We believe that math is for people of all ages. There is a hidden assumption in our society that doing math is 'only for kids' or 'for school.' We disagree. Everyone, even adults, is allowed to have fun doing math. Nevertheless, some things, like our Advanced Contest Math Class, assume some level of knowledge. Let the topics be the guide.
