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 most recent competition was SCMC VII (Spring 2026), which took place on Saturday, 28 March 2026. Thank you to everyone who competed! Problems, solutions, and results will be posted in early-mid April.
