Every fall, the University of Maryland holds a math competition for high school students enrolled in Maryland or the District of Columbia. About 2,000 students take the part 1 exam. Students who score well on part 1 are invited to participate in part 2 of the competition. Both parts require a sound knowledge of high school mathematics.
