WAMC teams place among the top 10 at BrUMO
Please join me in congratulating our WAMC teams on their great performance at BrUMO on February 28.
Brown University Math Olympiad (BrUMO) is a high school team competition organized by Brown University students. Brown’s 2nd-ever high school math tournament brought together 72 teams and 356 participants from 12 states, the UK, and China. This year, the organizers added a Division B for students new to high school math competitions. They also introduced a new team round - Mystery Round.
I would like to congratulate our teams on their outstanding results - placing 3rd overall in Division A and 9th overall in Division B.
Additionally, Ethan Shi placed 5th in the individual round, and Alex Svoronos, Girish Prasad and Henry Xue all placed among the top 20 participants, all in Division A.

WAMC places 2nd overall at GiM at Yale
Please join me in congratulating our girls on their outstanding performance at GiM last Saturday.
Our A team placed 2nd overall. They placed 2nd in the team round and 3rd in the guts round. Additional congratulations to Hayden Hughes and Avery Xu who placed among the top 10 individual participants.
Girls in Math at Yale is a math team competition open to students from underrepresented genders, including women and non-binary people, and those who are otherwise marginalized. The competition consists of a guts round, a team round, and an individual round. GiM is currently the only girls/non-binary math high school competitions we participate in, as CMWMC no longer falls into this category.

A note about age.
A note about age.
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.
