	Science Fair Projects - American Mathematics Competitions
		The American Mathematics Competitions (AMC) is a series of high school mathematics contests used to select the six-member team to represent the United States at the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO).
		The American Mathematics Competitions is also the name of the organization, based in Lincoln, Nebraska, responsible for creating, distributing and coordinating the AMC contests, which include the American Mathematics Contest (AMC), the American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIME), and the United States of America Mathematical Olympiad (USAMO).
		The combined scores of the AMC and the AIME are used to determine those that will be invited back to take a grueling 9-hour, 2-day, 6-problem session of proofs known as the United States of America Mathematical Olympiad (USAMO).

	American Thinker: Sex and Mathematics
		Though the remarks of Summers were made off the record and though he had said it was not the most likely reason for the paucity of women in the hard sciences at Harvard, the recriminations that followed led to faculty censure and a vast commitment of resources to alleviate the disproportionate numbers.
		The American Mathematics Competitions are a series of math contests for high school students culminating in selecting a United States team for the International Math Olympiad.
		In the face of extensive documentation of massive underperformance by boys as measured by potential vs. achievement, and the continued demonstration of stiff competition from overseas as evidenced in international mathematics competitions, the performance of boys in mathematics should be a source of pride.

	The American High School Mathematics Examination:A 50 year Retrospective
		The AHSME is constructed and administered by the American Mathematics Competitions (AMC) whose purpose is to increase interest in mathematics and to develop problem solving ability through a series of friendly mathematics competitions for junior (grades 8 and below) and senior high school students (grades 9 through 12).
		Problems involving several areas of mathematics are much more common now, especially problems which shed light on the rich interplay between algebra and geometry, between algebra and number theory, and between geometry and combinatorics.
		The AMC established the rule that every problem had to have a solution without a calculator that was no harder than a calculator solution.
