The American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (www.AMATYC.org)
conducts a mathematics contest every year, the AMATYC Student Math
League, giving one test in the fall and one in the spring.
Participating colleges are divided into eight regions. New England
colleges are in the Northeast region.
The New England Mathematics Association of Two-Year Colleges is an
affiliate of AMATYC, and supports and encourages the participation of
colleges in New England in this league. NEMATYC offcers prizes to the
top winner at each of five NEMATYC colleges.
There are two tests given in the annual Student Math League (SML)
