Mandelbrot Competition

• The Mandelbrot Competition is composed of a short answer format and is delivered in five rounds spread throughout the school year. The contest emphasizes creative mathematical thinking and aims to “engage students with only a modest background while still stretching the most advanced students.” Each round consists of seven short-answer questions that are awarded points based on difficulty.
• Students from grades 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th

Invitational Competitions:

Invitational competitions are for students who perform exceptionally well on the AMC 10/12. They are invited to continue participating in the AMC series of examinations that culminate with the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO).
