美國(guó)數(shù)學(xué)競(jìng)賽(AMC)

是什么?

AMC是American Mathematics Competition美國(guó)數(shù)學(xué)競(jìng)賽的縮寫，由美國(guó)數(shù)學(xué)協(xié)會(huì)（Mathematics Association of America）于1950年成立。

AMC不但是美國(guó)頂尖數(shù)學(xué)人才的人才庫(kù)，麻省理工學(xué)院、斯坦福大學(xué)、卡內(nèi)基梅隆大學(xué)等多所名校的申請(qǐng)頁面上都要求學(xué)生填寫自己的AMC競(jìng)賽成績(jī)。AMC還扮演為美國(guó)培養(yǎng)世界數(shù)學(xué)奧林匹克（IMO）選手的重大責(zé)任，也是美國(guó)唯一一個(gè)用來選拔IMO國(guó)家隊(duì)的競(jìng)賽體系。

在AMC備戰(zhàn)中，老師和同學(xué)都給予了我很大幫助。IB數(shù)學(xué)平時(shí)的探索性課堂培養(yǎng)我們的思維能力，學(xué)校開的專門的數(shù)學(xué)競(jìng)賽課給了我們針對(duì)性的訓(xùn)練，而課后同學(xué)們相互探討交流題目、相互學(xué)習(xí)，同樣也對(duì)數(shù)學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)和競(jìng)賽準(zhǔn)備有大益處。

我認(rèn)為AMC這項(xiàng)競(jìng)賽與我現(xiàn)在所學(xué)的數(shù)學(xué)的差別還是比較大的，在我看來AMC似乎更注重在數(shù)學(xué)中的一些技巧，而我當(dāng)下所學(xué)的IB數(shù)學(xué)則更注重于理解。

在準(zhǔn)備的過程中難免會(huì)遇到一些自己無法解決的題目，這時(shí)候我就會(huì)首先向同學(xué)求助，我認(rèn)為這是一個(gè)很好的方式，因?yàn)樵谂c同學(xué)討論的過程中很容易會(huì)產(chǎn)生新的解題方法。

同時(shí)，我也要感謝老師在cca時(shí)間為我們開設(shè)的培訓(xùn)課，為我們講解題目，解答疑惑。

我認(rèn)為ib的數(shù)學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)與我先前所認(rèn)知的數(shù)學(xué)有一定的差異，他更加講究邏輯思維與步驟性，這對(duì)于個(gè)人邏輯思維的提升非常有幫助。這次參加AMC的考試，整張?jiān)嚲斫o我的感覺是非常趕，并且試卷的難度層層分級(jí)，需要參賽的選手根據(jù)自己的能力去劃自己的答題時(shí)間。在進(jìn)行考試練習(xí)的過程中，我們都會(huì)遇到難以解答的問題，我會(huì)在課余時(shí)間和競(jìng)賽課找到老師進(jìn)行答疑，而同學(xué)之間也會(huì)約時(shí)間進(jìn)行解題心得的交流。希望以后能有更多對(duì)數(shù)學(xué)有興趣的同學(xué)參與到這一競(jìng)賽當(dāng)中來，并且一直懷抱著對(duì)于數(shù)學(xué)的熱忱。

英國(guó)數(shù)學(xué)奧林匹克競(jìng)賽

（BMO）是什么？

British Mathematical Olympiad（BMO）英國(guó)數(shù)學(xué)奧林匹克競(jìng)賽由成立于1996年的United Kingdom Mathematics Trust（UKMT）英國(guó)數(shù)學(xué)基金會(huì)組織的旗下針對(duì)高年級(jí)中學(xué)生難度最大的競(jìng)賽。主要側(cè)重于考察學(xué)生應(yīng)用數(shù)學(xué)基本概念到非一般題目的能力。

本土同學(xué)可以通過BMO角逐英國(guó)國(guó)際數(shù)學(xué)奧林匹克國(guó)家代表隊(duì)的席位。因此，它作為一門含金量極高的數(shù)學(xué)競(jìng)賽，幾乎是牛劍申請(qǐng)的標(biāo)配競(jìng)賽。對(duì)于想要沖刺牛劍G5的同學(xué)來說，在BMO競(jìng)賽中獲獎(jiǎng)既是數(shù)學(xué)實(shí)力的直接體現(xiàn)也是對(duì)數(shù)學(xué)熱情的最佳證明。

BMO全球榮譽(yù)獎(jiǎng)獲得者

這是我第一次參加BMO競(jìng)賽，但是在讀ib之前我就已經(jīng)知道這個(gè)競(jìng)賽了。作為英國(guó)最高級(jí)別的數(shù)學(xué)競(jìng)賽，含金量很高，它采用全部都為解答題的形式，考查了學(xué)生解題完整的思路。第一次考試差一分晉級(jí)，對(duì)于我自己來說這是非常遺憾的。但是也有了很大收獲，希望明年能夠繼續(xù)努力晉級(jí)BMO2并獲得一定獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)。

這次競(jìng)賽整體來說難度偏大，題目很少但是單題難度很高，需要很多的時(shí)間去思考。但是學(xué)校老師在我備考BMO時(shí)給了很大的幫助。如開設(shè)專門的競(jìng)賽班等。

對(duì)于學(xué)習(xí)數(shù)學(xué)，我認(rèn)為最重要的不是去學(xué)習(xí)很多的新知識(shí)點(diǎn)，而是通過刷題等方式去鞏固已經(jīng)學(xué)過了的知識(shí)點(diǎn)，因?yàn)榧词箤W(xué)了新知識(shí)，不能熟練的去運(yùn)用到題目中的話，也是沒有用的。

衷 心 祝 賀

向以上獲獎(jiǎng)的同學(xué)表示衷心的祝賀！今天的成績(jī)是付出后的回報(bào)，今天的榮譽(yù)更是學(xué)習(xí)的動(dòng)力。希望更多的同學(xué)能積極參加競(jìng)賽中來，銳意進(jìn)取，更創(chuàng)佳績(jī)！

Recently, the results of various international mathematics competitions have been announced one after another. The students at Guangzhou Foreign Language School ISA Wenhua IB Diploma Programme once again made great achievements. Among them, in the 2022 American Mathematics Competition (AMC), they won 1 Honor Roll of Distinction, 2 Certificate of Distinction and 6 Higher than the AIME Cutoff. In the British Mathematical Olympiad (BMO), they won1 Certificate of Distinction,1 Certificate of Merit and 1 invitation to sit the BMO Round 2!

What is American Mathematics Competition (AMC)?

AMC is not only a talent pool of top mathematics talents in the United States, the application websites of many prestigious universities such as MIT, Stanford University, and Carnegie Mellon University also require students to fill in their AMC competition results. AMC plays a major role in training candidatesfor the US International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) team, and it is the only competition system used by the USto select its IMO national team.

Julie Zhu

Winner of AMC Certificate of Distinction

In preparing for the AMC, my teachers and classmates have given me a lot of help. The inquiry-based classes of IB mathematics cultivate our thinking ability. The special mathematics competition classes provided by the school give us targeted training. After class, students discuss mathematics topics with each other and learn from each other. All of these brought great benefits to my learning of mathematics and preparation for the competition.

Winston Chen

Winner of AMC Certificate of Distinction

I think there is a big difference between the AMC and the mathematics I am learning now. In my opinion, AMC seems to pay more attention to problem solving skills in mathematics, while the IB mathematics I am studying focuses on the understanding of mathematics.

While preparing for AMC, it is inevitable that I would encounter some problems that I cannot solve. When this happened, I would first ask my classmates for help. I think this is a good way, because it becomes easy to produce new problem-solving solutions while discussing with classmates.

At the same time, I would like to thank our teacher for opening the competition training class during the CCA time, explaining the questions, and answering our questions.

Bryan Liao

Winner of Honor Roll of Distinction

I think the IB mathematics is different from the mathematics I have known before. It pays more attention to logical thinking and solutions by steps, which is very helpful for the cultivation of logical thinking skills. In the AMC, the whole test paper gave me the feeling that I was very rushed, and the difficulty of the test paper was graded. Participants need to dividetheir own answering time according to their ability. In the preparation and practice, we all encounter difficult questions. I would find teachers to answer my questions after class and during the competition training class, and the students also arrange time to share their experience in solving mathematics problems. I hope that more students who are interested in mathematics will participate in this competition in the future, and they will always have a passion for mathematics.

What is British Mathematical Olympiad (BMO)?

The British Mathematical Olympiad (BMO) is organized by the United Kingdom Mathematics Trust (UKMT) founded in 1996. It is the most difficult competition of UKMT for senior secondaryschool students. The focus is to examine students" ability to apply basic concepts of mathematics to solving mathematics problems.

Thelocal students can compete for a seat in the UK International Mathematical Olympiad team through BMO. As a highly valuable mathematics competition, it is almost a necessary competition for those pursuing Oxbridge applications. For students who want to sprint for Oxbridge and G5 universities, winning in the BMO is not only a direct showof their mathematical skills but also the best proof of their passion for mathematics.

Winner of BMO Certificateof Distinction

This is my first time participating in BMO, but I already knew about this competition before I took the IB programme. As the highest-level mathematics competition in the UK, it isa highly valuable one. It adopts the form of free response questions and tests the students" complete thoughtson answeringthe questions. It is a pity for me failing to enter Round 2 by one point. But I have also gained a lot. I hope that I will continue to work hard to enter BMO Round 2 and win some awards next year.

Eric Zhao

Winner of BMO Certificate of Merit

I am honoured to have achieved a good result in the BMO Round 1.

The overall difficulty of this competition is relatively high. There are only few questions, but the difficulty of each question is very high. It takes a lot of time to think before answering the questions. The teachers gave me a lot of help when I was preparing for the BMO, such as providing special competition training classes, etc.

While learning mathematics for the competition, I think the most important thing is not to learn a lot of new concepts, but to consolidate the concepts already learned by practicing questions, because if you cannot skilfully apply the new concepts to the questions, it is still useless even if you learn many new concepts.

Congratulations to the above award-winning students! Today"s results are rewards for and after hard work, and today"s honour is the motivation for further learning. We hope that more students will actively participate in the competition, forge ahead and achieve excellent results!
