The Carnegie Mellon Informatics and Mathematics Competition (CMIMC) is an annual high school math competition organized by students at Carnegie Mellon University. The math competition has run annually in the spring since 2016 and was last held on April 6, 2024.
Format
The tournament consists of a TCS round, a team round, and individual rounds.
TCS (Theoretical Computer Science) Round
This is a 60 minute test with 2-3 problems to be completed as a team. Each question is worth the same number of points. Teams will submit at most one bound per problem and should provide an accompanying proof.
Team Round
This is a 40 minute test with 10 problems to be completed as a team. Each question is worth the same number of points.
Individual Rounds
There are three different rounds: Algebra and Number Theory, Combinatorics and Computer Science, and Geometry. Each student will take all 3 exams.
Each round is a 50 minute test with 10 problems (and a tiebreaker). Harder/less-solved questions are worth more points.
