[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see that the AMC 8 math competition is coming up. What is the ultimate point of this? You solve some problems and get a score.... and then??? I can understand that a very small fraction of kids just digs math and likes solving problems for the challenge. But, for the majority of kids who are pretty good at math, but not living and breathing geniuses... what does AMC 8 offer? Bragging rights/resume builder if you do well? Practice for the TJ admissions test? Just trying to understand what it is and why people do it.[/quote] I am searching some math competition related post so I saw this. I think one of the point of doing these is to meet other like-minded mathy kids. And the problems are fun. I sometimes solve AMC-10 questions myself and test them with ChatGPT for fun. Math is like music, art and good wine, having a high level of appreciation of them will provide life-long joy. [/quote]
