American Regions Mathematics League (ARML)
May 30: ARML is hosting ARML Local, a free online contest, at the end of the month (4-7PM ET on 5/30) after cancelling their in-person programming this year. *Registration closes Saturday, May 23 at midnight PT.* https://www.arml.com/ARML/arml_2019/page/index.php
ARML also has a free PDF copy of past contests on their website:
ARML exists to provide challenging and interesting problems to our students and to build a community of people excited about mathematics. We wanted to give students an opportunity for math enrichment while normal schooling is otherwise disrupted. Therefore, we have placed a PDF copy of American Regions Math League & Power & Local Contests 2009-2014 on our website. We will also publish our new book covering ARML contests from 2015 to 2020 this summer, which will be available on Amazon immediately upon publication and at contest sites in 2021.
