Welcome to SACMATH
SACMATH (Sacramento Area Competitions in Mathematics) is an organization led by Jeff Soesbe that has been running mathematics contests in the Sacramento region since October 2009.
During the 2017-2018 school year, I am planning another series of fun and challenging contests. I will also publicize other contests and math-related activities in the region. You can join the SACMATH mailing list to receive announcements of upcoming contests and activities.
The next SACMATH Contests will be on Saturday, February 17, 2018 at Oak Ridge HS in El Dorado Hills, CA. There will be an ES contest the morning of Saturday February 17, and a MS contest the afternoon of Saturday February 17. Details, including how to register, can be found on the contest pages linked below.
UC Davis will once again be a regional site for the AMC contests (AMC-8, AMC-10/12 A and B). AMC-10A/12A will be Wednesday, February 7. AMC-10B/12B will be Thursday, February 15. Both tests will be given in the evening. To register a student for the AMC tests, see instructions below.
Results from previous contests can be found on the "Contest Results" page.
Feel free to contact Jeff Soesbe of SACMATH at [email protected] with any questions. I hope you enjoy the contests!
