The USA Mathematics Olympiad identifies and encourages the most
creative secondary mathematics students in the country and indicates
the talent of those who may become leaders in the mathematical
sciences of the next generation. The USAMO is part of a worldwide
system of national mathematics competitions, a movement in which both
educators and research mathematicians are engaged in recognizing and
celebrating the imagination and resourcefulness of our youth. The
twelve top scoring USAMO students are invited to a two day Olympiad
Awards Ceremony in Washington, DC sponsored by the MAA, the Akamai
Foundation, the Microsoft Corporation and the Matilda Wilson
Foundation. Six of these twelve students will comprise the United
States team that competes in the International Mathematical Olympiad
(IMO).
