HMMT (Harvard-MIT Mathematics Tournament) is one of the largest and most prestigious high school mathematics competitions in the world, drawing nearly 1,000 students from across the globe to compete in rigorous individual and team events. Founded in 1998 and entirely student-organized by undergraduates at Harvard, MIT, and nearby universities, the tournament is held twice annually, once in November at Harvard and once in February at MIT. Competitors include top scorers from national and international olympiads, making HMMT one of the most challenging and rewarding mathematics competitions available to high school students. Participating in HMMT offers serious math students a glimpse into advanced mathematics and the vibrant intellectual community that surrounds the field.
