The American Regions Mathematics League (ARML) is an annual national mathematics competition. High school students form teams of 15 to represent their city, state, county or school and compete against the best in the from the United States and Canada. The event consists of Team, Power, Individual and Relay rounds (For more information click here) and usually takes place the first Saturday after Memorial Day. Currently, ARML is held simultaneously at three sites: Penn State, The University of Iowa and San Jose State University .
The twenty-seventh annual meet will be held Saturday, June 1, 2002 at Penn State and Iowa, and May 31-June 1, 2002 at San Jose State. Teams which finished in the top 15 of Division A or the top 4 of Division B must compete in division A in 2002.
The twenty-sixth annual meet was held Saturday, June 2, 2001 at Penn State and Iowa, and June 1-2, 2001 at San Jose State.
One hundred and eight teams took part in this years meet, including guest teams from Taiwan and the Phillipines.
San Francisco Bay A recaptured first place, scoring 191 out of a possible 240 points. Massachusetts A finished second with 185 points.
San Francisco A, Massachusetts A, and Thomas Jefferson A began the meet by achieving perfect scores on the team round. San Francisco A took the lead for good by being only one of two teams to score 39 out of 40 on the Power Question.
San Fransisco A continued their strong shoing during the individual round, faltering slightly on question 3, but turning in a strong showing on question 8, answered by only 19 students nationwide. Five of San Francisco A's students correctly answered this challenging question. Massachusett A led all division A teams with 30 points in the relay round, but it wasn't enough to catch San Francisco A.
In Division B, the Michigan Reals won by a record margin, outscoring all but four of the Division A teams, and topping all teams during the relay round. Ontation B finished second 26 points behind Michigan's 160.
In the guest, division, Taiwan F led all teams with 163 points. Taiwan B led all guest teams during the indiviual round, but Taiwan F's strong perfromance on the team events lifted them ahead of Taiwan B.
Six individuals achieved a perfect 8 during the individual round. The tie-breaker was won by Gabriel Carroll of San Francisco Bay A.
One hundred and four teams participated in the twenty-fifth annual meet that took place Saturday, June 3, 2000 at Penn State and Iowa and on Friday-Saturday June 2-3, 2000 at UNLV.
For the first time ever, there was a tie for first place, as Chicago A and San Francisco Bay A each scored 172 points, just one point ahead of New York City.
In Division B, there was also a tie for first, the first since 1983.
Connecticut A and Peninsula South Bay both scored 127 points, just two ahead of Iowa A and Northern California, who tied for third, and three points ahead of AAS NJ A.
New York City A, Massachussetts A and Upstate New York A jumped out to an early lead with perfect scores on the team round. San Franciso Bay A turned it into a four team race by being the only team to achieve a perfect 40 on the power question and solidified their position by being the only team to have every team member answer all first three individual round questions correctly. By the end of the inidividual round, San Francisco Bay A had built a three point lead over New York City A and Massachussetts A. Chicago A scored 30 out of 40 on the relay round to vault from fourth to a tie for first.
This year, we were honored once more with a visit by three teams from Taiwan. As the record shows (see www.arml.com), these teams did fine work. The highest scoring Taiwan team scored on the level of the ten best American teams in the A division. The other two teams scored on the level of the top 12 in our B division.
The Taiwanese visitors have established a parallel league to ARML, the Taiwan Regions Mathematics League. In their first year, TRML involved 80 teams, and next year they will host 280 teams.
Three individuals attained perfect scores during the individual round.
