The AMTI is a pioneer organisation in promoting and conducting Maths Talent Tests in India. Last year (44th TC Data) (in the 44th National level tests) 66066 students from 332 institutions spread all over India, participated at the screening level; 10% of them insitutionwise were selected for the final test. For the benefit of final level contestants and the chosen few for INMO, special orientation camps were conducted. Merit certificates and prizes were awarded to the deserving students.
35 among them from Tamil Nadu and Puduchery at the Junior and Inter Levels have been sponsored to write the Indian National Mathematics Olympiad (INMO 2013). From among them 2 have been selected at the national level.

Rs. 50/- per candidate (out of which Rs.5/- will be retained by the institution onlyfor all expenses and Rs.45/- to be sent to AMTI.)
SYLLABUS
The syllabus for Mathematics Olympiad (Regional, National and International) is pre-degree college mathematics. The areas covered are, mainly –
a)Algebra, b) Geometry, c) Number theory and d) Graph theory & combinatorics.
Algebra: Polynomials, Solving equations, inequalities and complex numbers.
Geometry: Geometry of triangles and circles.
(Trigonometric methods, vector methods, complex number methods, transformation geometry methods can also be used to solve problems)
Number Theory: Divisibility, Diophantine equations, congruence relations, prime numbers and elementary results on prime numbers.
Combinatorics & Graph Theory : Counting techniques, pigeon hole principle, principle of inclusion and exclusion, basic graph theory.
Problems pertaining to these concepts will be of non-routine type with difficulty level increasing from RMO to INMO to IMO.
Further to motivate this type of thinking from Class V onwards questions solvable by the best with clear knowledge of concepts introduced to them applied to problem solving will be set for primary (V & VI), sub-Junior (VII & VIII), Junior (IX & X) and Inter (XI & XII).
FOLLOW UP PROGRAMME
Cash Awards to the top 3 winners in each level, (1st position Rs.5000/-, 2nd Rs.2500/- and 3rd Rs.1250/-) (T.R. Raghava Sastry Award for the topper in XI Std) Merit Certificates for them and others selected with some cash award for the latter also will be given based on their revealing a reasonable level of mathematical maturity. All the students selected for the Final Level Test will get a certificate and a cash award. Enrichment contact courses are likely to be organized for the promising toppers.
Scholarship effective from 2010 onwards.
For those who get selected at INMO through AMTI, an adhoc sum of Rs. 10000/-(Rupees Ten thousand ) each will be given.
For those who get selected for IMO from them a sum of Rs. 20000/- (RupeesTwenty thousand ) each will be given.

Senior Level students (college degree level) will take only the final test.
SOF is a Registered Not-For-Profit Organization Popularising Computer, Science, Mathematics and English Education among school children.
Silverzone Foundation is a NGO reckoned as the organizer of the biggest and the most popular International Olympiads.These Olympiads have reputedly created a platform for students, from all walks of life, to appear and judge their mettle at various levels of these highly appreciated competitive examinations, both on National and International scale. For your academic interest, more than 15 lacs of students from 7000 plus schools, not only of India, but also from Japan, Middle East, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal etc participated in different Olympiads conducted by the Foundation, in the year 2012 only.
The competitions are open to all the students, from Class-I to Class-XII, and a perfect global platform wherein a student can actually put his/her talent, memory, knowledge and skill sets to test and can apprehend his/her standing on an international scale. All these in turn help them great as a trajectory for their achievements in higher studies and professional areas, later in life.
