About The Empire Open Math Contest

The Empire Open Math Contest is a math contest open to all adults (and kids as well) meant to offer the fun and challenge of olympiad style math problem solving to all ages. Our long term goal is to eventually offer a series of contests ranging from beginner to IMO/Putnam difficulty (And even beyond that if possible) that folks of all ages can enjoy.

The 2025 contest will be held on Saturday May 17, 2025 in Manhattan, NY

Here is a link to the meetup to RSVP.
