The Harvard-MIT Mathematics Tournament (HMMT) is an annual math tournament for high school students, held at MIT and at Harvard in alternate years. It is held in February and November of each year. With about 900 local participants, HMMT is one of the largest math contests in the United States. Six individual tests (each participant is to pick 2 out of 4 Subject Tests: Algebra, Geometry, Calculus, and Combinatorics) and two team events (the Team Round and the Guts Round) are the major events of the Tournament. As the HMMT is restricted to teams within 75 miles of Cambridge, there are many high school students within US but outside the 75 miles radius, and outside of US, who are unable to attend the competitions to share in the challenge and excitement of the contest. Hence, the informal and unofficial Harvard-MIT Online Tournament is created. For the online tournament, no prizes are awarded, but top-performing teams and individuals are recognised on the HMMT website.
A group of 8 NUS High School students were among 81 high school students from all around the world who participated in the 2011 HMMT Online Competition held on 13 February (Sunday) from 1 - 7 am, Singapore time. The NUS High students did well, emerging tops in a number of categories, as seen below:
