CEMC
International Math Olympiads
Course Overview
The Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing (CEMC) at the University of Waterloo organizes some of the most prestigious math contests for students from Grades 5 to 12. These contests, such as the Gauss, Pascal, Cayley, Fermat, and Euclid, challenge students with engaging problems that develop problem-solving skills and mathematical thinking. Recognized worldwide, CEMC contests help students strengthen their math foundation and prepare for advanced competitions like the American and International Math Olympiads.
- Pascal, Cayley and Fermat are designed to be accessible both to students who have participated in a math contest in the past and to those who haven’t, these multiple-choice contests can help learners build confidence and inspire them to get excited about math.Â
- The Fryer, Galois and Hypatia:  These contests are a unique opportunity for students to write a full-solution contest — a format that can help learners develop both problem-solving and communication skills.
- Gauss is a wonderful opportunity for all students of Grades 7-8 to grow their interest in and get curious about the power of math.
- Doing well in Euclid can help gain admission to the Faculty of Mathematics Programme in University of Waterloo.
