The USA Mathematical Olympiad (USAMO) is a prestigious mathematics competition for high school students in the United States. It is part of the Mathematical Olympiad series and aims to identify and cultivate mathematical talent among young students. Participants solve challenging problems that require creativity and advanced problem-solving skills.
The USAMO is typically held annually in April, and students qualify through the American Mathematics Competitions (AMC) and the American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIME). Top scorers are invited to compete, and the event serves as a gateway for students to represent the USA in international competitions like the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO).
