	United States of America Mathematical Olympiad - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The United States of America Mathematical Olympiad (USAMO) is a prestigious mathematics competition held annually in the United States.
		In order to be eligible to take the USAMO, a participant must be either a citizen of the United States or a legal permanent resident.
		Each year, the top 12 scorers on the USAMO are considered for selection to the IMO team for the United States.

		The USAMO (or USA Mathematical Olympiad) is a test that, since 1972, has been given to the top approximately 250 students in the AMC contests.
		Considering that the roughly 250 participants in the USAMO each year are selected from a pool of over 200 000 participants in the AMC contests, simply participating is considered an extremely significant achievement for an American student.
		Qualification for the USAMO is based on a student's combined scores for the AMC and AIME contests.

		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).
		Approximately thirty students are selected based on their USAMO performance to be trained at the Mathematical Olympiad Summer Program, or MOSP (better known as MOP to its participants).

		Problems that are used in the mathematical Olympiads are a very select set.
		Since they are to be taken by high school students, most areas of mathematics are off-limits, severely restricting the range of solution techniques.
		They are some of the best ever written, sometimes knowing that the solutions require only "simple" mathematics makes them all the more difficult to find.

		The competition referred to in the title is the International Mathematical Olympiad, and I agree with this assessment that it’s the toughest math competition, for appropriate definitions of “competition”;.
		In most years, about 30 are selected for the Mathematical Olympiad Summer Program (MOP or MOSP, depending on who you ask) based on their scores from this exam and those that precede it (the AHSME (now AMC 10/12) and AIME) and six are on the IMO team.
		The USAMO was held in early July that year at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, and the MOP took place essentially during the month of June, at Georgetown University in Washington, DC; I was actually in DC for a week that June.
