The Intercollegiate Math Tournament is pleased to announce its upcoming event at the University of California, Berkeley.
Compete for $20,000 in cash prizes, including a $8,000 top prize!
ICMT is the first in-person team-based mathematics competition for undergraduate students from universities worldwide. The tournament is organized by graduate students and alumni from prestigious mathematics competitions including BMT (UC Berkeley), SMT (Stanford), HMMT (Harvard & MIT), PUMaC (Princeton), and CMIMC (CMU).
We will provide more registration details as we get closer to the tournament!
To participate in ICMT, you must:
Students from both domestic and international universities are welcome. Mathematics majors or formal mathematics coursework are not required—only a passion for mathematics.
Questions regarding eligibility should be directed to team@intercollegiatemathtournament.org.
Teams consist of four students. Teammates may be from different universities but must compete in the same division:
Division A (for experienced competitors): In addition to the Division B syllabus, topics include linear algebra, abstract algebra, real and complex analysis, as well as other undergraduate subjects. Division A teams compete for a $20,000 cash prize pool, with the top prize of $8,000.
Division B (for newer competitors): Topics include high school math competition subjects (AMC 10/12 level), as well as single- and multi-variable calculus, differential equations, and basic linear algebra.
Sample problems are available to help determine the appropriate division:
Don’t worry! You can register yourself as a solo team and we will merge incomplete teams before the competition, or you can use our teammate finder.
Registration, team assignments, waiver signing, and score reports are managed through ContestDojo, our online competition platform. For step-by-step instructions, review the ContestDojo registration guide.
