We'll be back after the summer with info on SCMC VIII (Fall 2026). Additionally, we may be hosting one site of the Math Majors of America Tournament for High Schools (MMATHS) at USC again this November; more information to come.

We create and host two math competitions each academic year on USC's University Park campus. They are designed to be roughly equivalent in content and difficulty:
The Fall competition is usually held in late October.
The Spring competition is usually held in late March.
Provisions also exist for competing online, if you live too far from USC or are otherwise unable to be on campus on the competition day.
