# Any upcoming competitions where you are located? (till end of 2013)

I know that as a student, it can be hard to be aware of all the various competitions or science fairs that are happening, especially over a wider geographical region. I think we should help each other out, and be aware of various events that could be interesting. By keeping others in the loop about such events, we can all benefit from the greater exposure.

In the comments below, I have listed some geographical regions (International, US, India, Asia, Brazil, UK) If there are events in those regions that you think others may be interested in, please add them as a comment to the relevant region. If you do not see your region, feel free to start a comment, and then add on the events underneath it.

If you find this useful, let us know and we'd create quarterly (or even monthly) updates for your easy reference. For now, let's keep it to the end of 2013, to increase the relevance to others.

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

• Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
• Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
• Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.

USAMTS (USA Mathematical Talent Search) - a proof-based competition broken up into three rounds of five problems each. Students are given at least a month to work on the problems and write up solutions. Prizes like textbooks and Mathematica licenses are offered to those who score above a certain threshold. In addition, a sufficiently high score can qualify the student for AIME, although normal qualification through the AMC 10 is much more common.

- 6 years ago

Yea, if you score high enough on USAMTS to qualify for AIME, then there is no reason that you couldn't qualify for the AIME through AMC unless you had a spectacularly bad day. Even if you are worse at timed competitions than otherwise, the disparity in difficulty between the two competitions is so great that I can't imagine it happening.

- 6 years ago

Cool I actually didn't know you could qualify for AIME through USAMTS :D

Science Bowl is in fact awesome. It's like Quizbowl / academic challenge, except more catered to STEM topics.

Math Madness is also a competition hosted by AMC (thought it has already started, I believe). It is for high schools and some talented middle schools. Here is an AoPS topic about it.

Other than the fact that most regions have their ARML (http://www.arml.com) tryouts by the end of the year or at the latest January, people in the Chicago region may be interested in submitting a project to the QED Math Symposium (http://qed.wpcp.org/). It is like a Science Fair but focuses on math projects. Anyone can join and there are prizes for every participant! The website has not been updated in a while but word on the street is that projects will be due around the end of November. Keep an eye on the website for more details, which should be coming soon.

The AMC 8 is also before the end of the year. Simple 25-question multiple choice test; no penalty for guessing. Last year MathPath was giving out scholarships to people with perfect scores on this (I got one that I declined myself).

Any international competitions (with less registration fees, if possible) in which students of any nation can participate?

- 6 years ago

Is this 'Asia' including 'Pakistan' as well? If not then why not?

- 6 years ago

You can participate in NMO (check sms.edu.pk) with problems very similar to the ones seen over here. Unfortunately the last date for registration was September 25, 2013. If you've missed this one then by all mean take part in NMTC (http://win.nstc.edu.pk/NSTC/registration10.asp). Both of these competitions select team to be selected for the international maths olympiad. The earlier you know about them the better.

Would canada be kinda like the USA? Do they use the same competitions, or is it restricted?

I live 40 minutes from the border...

Also, most USA competition are provided in Canada as well. Just have to find a location that provides it

I'm not sure, though I'd guess that they will have different competitions. I'd convert your comment into a starter tag for Canada.

Proofathon is a new proof-based online math Olympiad open to any and all participants. As it is designed as an introduction to proof based mathematical competition, problems range in difficulty from very easy to near IMO level over a variety of mathematical topics. The first upcoming competition will be centered around number theory and will take place October 25-26. You can visit the website or the Facebook page.

The Hungarian website Kömal runs maths, physics and informatics competitions from September to May year with new problems posted monthly.

- 6 years ago

The International Physics Online Olympiad (IPhOO) is an initiative similar to that of the OMO, NIMO, and Proofathon, except it is the very first such physics competition. Our website has basic information about who we are and what we do. Our Facebook Page is currently running a competition where we post problems 2-3 times per week and people who answer questions get points. The first to 100 points gets a free IPhOO T-shirt.

Our very first contest was a huge success and many people who participated found out about us at Brilliant, since I talk a little bit about the IPhOO here.

Contests 2 and 3 have already been scheduled and those who register on our website get updates about Contests. The contest is free for all and quite frequently held. So if you like Physics and don't see enough online to do, the IPhOO is for you.

And, yes, don't forget to like us on our Facebook page to get updates, problems, prizes, and more!

CSAW CTF - computer security/hacking event held online for anybody in the world. Just like PicoCTF mentioned in the USA thread, it does require problem-solving. However, the problem-solving strategies are different from those used in math or physics competitions, so it's interesting to participate in.

Possibly because this is unrelated to the topic of the discussion

Dude math olympiad tests your understanding of your basic math skills. So keep solving various problems in various methods and formulate new problems yourself. Other than solving problems, start thinking math in every posible scenario. Brilliant is a beautiful platform for this. Explore various approaches people use here to solve problems.
