 United States of America Mathematical Talent Search

The United States of America Mathematical Talent Search (USAMTS) is a mathematics competition designed to identify and cultivate mathematical talent among high school students in the United States. It emphasizes problem-solving skills and creative mathematical thinking over rote computation and traditional curriculum topics. The competition typically consists of several rounds where students receive a set of challenging problems, which they must solve and submit solutions for. The problems often require deep understanding and innovative approaches rather than straightforward application of formulas.
