The Carnegie Mellon Informatics and Mathematics Competition (CMIMC) is an annual mathematics competition hosted by Carnegie Mellon University that invites high school students and younger participants to test their skills in rigorous individual and team rounds. Teams of up to six contestants tackle challenging problems in mathematics and informatics, with solo registrants matched into teams on competition day. The event takes place on the Carnegie Mellon campus and includes an optional Friday night program featuring a panel discussion with renowned mathematics professors. CMIMC is a prestigious opportunity for students passionate about mathematics to compete at one of the country's top universities and connect with like-minded peers.
