Yeah, that's right American Mathematical Contest （ American Mathematics Competition） It is called AMC for short.
It is believed that the readers of the Bund have heard about AMC, but when it comes to the details of the game, many people still do not understand it.

Briefly talk about AMC
AMC is organized by the Mathematical Association of America (MMA). The first competition was held in New York in 1950. Now, more than 300000 people around the world take part in it every year, which can be said to be one of the hottest competitions in the world.
The test questions of the competition are set from easy to difficult, from Primary school students to junior high school students You can choose the appropriate level to participate.
The competition questions at each level not only cover Comprehensive knowledge points , and The themes are evenly distributed 。 It can be said that AMC provides a larger stage for children who like mathematics.
AMC focuses more on mathematical knowledge than purely on mathematical knowledge Investigate the application of mathematics, stimulate interest in mathematics, cultivate mathematical thinking, and exercise the ability to solve problems 。
From 2021, AMC will adopt Chinese and English examination papers This is absolutely good news for children in lower grades and relatively weak English in China. They can Put more effort on solving the problem rather than understanding the meaning of the problem It is believed that with such convenience, there will be only a lot more domestic student union applicants in the future.
