REGISTRATION FOR MMATHS 2024
9/30 UPDATE FOR YALE SITE ONLY:
Due to many schools having a conflict with the PSAT on Oct. 26, we have decided to host an alternative, compressed version of MMATHS on Sunday, October 27, in addition to the Saturday contest, at the Yale site only. The Sunday contest will include the primary components—individual, team, lunch, and lightning finals—but will NOT include additional events like Friday Night Events and guest speakers. We strongly recommend that you attend MMATHS on Oct. 26 if you are able to, and attend on Oct. 27 only if you have an unavoidable conflict.
Please see Yale's contest page here for more details on the schedule, logistics, and more.
To register for MMATHS on Sunday, simply go to the same registration form below and select the "Yale University (Sunday Contest)" option. The registration process and fee are exactly the same, and students will still receive t-shirts, food, and prizes.
Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions!
