The competition

History

SEAMC and NEAMC are three-day events for school students located in South East and North East Asia, respectively. Participants work alone and in teams, as well as listen to mathematician guest speakers.
SEAMC was conceived at the turn of the millennium by Steve Warry, a teacher at Alice Smith School in Kuala Lumpur who believed that mathematics could be a spectator sport. In pursuit of this, he organised the South East Asian Mathematics Competition for March 2001, although he died a week prior to the competition. NEAMC was organised in February 2014 by Malcolm Coad of Nanjing International School, China as a parallel event to SEAMC. Haese Mathematics are proud partners of the event since conception

Format

SEAMC, NEAMC and all other WMC qualifying competitions have:
