USC's only student-run high-school math contest, since 2022! (Not the factorial.)
We host two math contests each academic year on USC's University Park campus. They are designed to be roughly equivalent in content and difficulty:
The Fall contest is usually held in late October.
The Spring contest 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.
Our next competition will be SCMC VII (Spring 2026), to be held on Saturday, 28 March 2026. Registration has closed; registered competitors should check their email for updates.
