The annual national contest sponsored by the American Mathematics Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC) consists of 2 rounds: one round in the fall semester and one round in the spring semester. The fall exam will be given in the latter part of October.
Each round consists of 20 multiple-choice questions on a variety of topics in precalculus mathematics: algebra, geometry, trigonometry, functions, graphing, probability, combinatorics and elementary statistics.
To take the exam, one needs to be a community college student at a participating community college. To take the exam at American River College, one needs to be a student at American River College.
The top 5 scores in each round form the American River College "team." The college, then competes informally with other community colleges around the state and the country. Members of the team receive certificates to honor their accomplishments. Support the ARC Math Team with your participation and go ARC!
Fall, 2012 AMATYC results:
We had 112 students who took AMATYC this fall with a team score of 117.5, which gave us a ranking of 18 place overall in the US and we were to top finisher from the central valley community colleges. If you want to check the current standings at any point just go to http://www.sml.csmd.edu/reports.php.

Top Finishers from Math 370
The top two finishers in Math 370 were Jack Chien from Professor Emery and Kathryn Scafidi from Professor Jones. Each of these students will receive a free Briggs calculus text complete with MyMath access.
To all of those that encouraged participation in AMATYC you have my sincere appreciation. Special thanks is due to Chris Heeren who as co-leader of our AMATYC team has done just about anything and everything to improve student success and student participation on AMATYC. Also, we greatly appreciate the help of Vince Jones who did an AMATYC review session on probability and counting, which was helpful to many students. Thanks also to Paul Andre who helped administer the AMATYC and encouraged participation in the Math Club and also AMATYC.
