Find out if your area has a team already. Contact ARML for details. If your area does not already have a team, ask ARML how to start one.

See the How to join an ARML team wiki page for more info. Teams have 15 students.

ARML was started in 1976 as a math competition.

The ARML has several different events:

A team round, in which the entire team works on ten problems together
A power round, where the questions are proof-oriented and are in a theme
An individual round, where each individual takes a ten question test
Two relay rounds, where the answer to one problem is necessary to solve the next problem
A super relay, a relay round where each team submits one answer

There are four books of past ARML problems, though some of them are out of print and/or hard to find.
