Australian Mathematical Olympiad (AMO)

The Australian Mathematical Olympiad (AMO) is a highly selective, proof-based mathematics competition organised by the Australian Mathematics Trust (AMT). It is typically a two-day exam with challenging problems that test deep understanding, creativity, and rigor in areas such as algebra, geometry, number theory and combinatorics.

Entry to the AMO is by invitation, usually offered to high-performing students from earlier AMT competitions and enrichment programs (such as the Australian Mathematics Competition and associated training programs). It targets advanced secondary students, often in Years 9–12, who are interested in pursuing mathematics at a high level. Participation in the AMO can lead to further selection for national training schools and potential representation of Australia at international competitions like the International Mathematical Olympiad.

Students benefit by developing advanced problem-solving skills, honing their proof-writing abilities, and gaining exposure to university-level mathematics. The AMO is well regarded in academic circles and can be a strong indicator of mathematical talent for future study and scholarship opportunities.

How much does Australian Mathematical Olympiad (AMO) cost?

We have not verified what Australian Mathematical Olympiad (AMO) costs. Our catalog holds no confirmed price for it, and an unpriced entry means exactly that — unpriced, not free. Check the official site before assuming either way.

Who is eligible for Australian Mathematical Olympiad (AMO)?

Our catalog has Australian Mathematical Olympiad (AMO) open to high school students in grades 9–12, unconfirmed against the program's own page — check it before you rule yourself in or out, since eligibility is often narrower than a grade range suggests (age floors, "must have completed" rules, enrolment status).

Is Australian Mathematical Olympiad (AMO) online or in person?

Australian Mathematical Olympiad (AMO) is an in-person program.
