Australian Maths Competition

The Australian Mathematics Competition (AMC) was introduced in Australia in 1978. It has since spread internationally, with students in more than 30 countries attempting the same problems. Scotch College has a long and successful history in this competition. 2017 was no different.

The AMC is for students of all standards. The problems are designed to test mathematical thinking. The problems get more difficult through the competition, so that at the end they are challenging to the most gifted students.
