What is UKMT-SMC?

Founded in 1996, the UK Mathematics Trust (UKMT) aims to promote mathematics education among young people. To accomplish this, the trust collaborates with hundreds of volunteers across the UK to organize competitions for students aged 11 to 18. These competitions encourage problem-solving, teamwork, and a diverse range of mathematical activities. The events inspire students to apply logical reasoning, develop analytical thinking, and use fundamental mathematical methods to tackle engaging and innovative problems.

Senior Mathematical Challenge 

The Senior Mathematical Challenge (SMC) is a precursor to the British Mathematical Olympiad (BMO). It promotes mathematical reasoning, precision in thought, and the fluent application of basic mathematical techniques to solve intriguing problems. Targeted at students aged 16 to 19, the SMC allows the top performers to qualify for the BMO, with high-ranking students having the opportunity to represent the UK in the selection process for the International Mathematical Olympiad.

The competition typically covers a range of topics, including geometry (primarily plane geometry), number theory, and combinatorics, while also incorporating a few algebraic problems and applied questions. Most problems are of moderate difficulty, with some being quite challenging, but they do not require advanced mathematical knowledge.
