The American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC) is an organization dedicated to the improvement of education in the first two years of college mathematics in the United States and Canada.

The math competition is held in spring and fall semester each year and is limited to problems in precalculus.

Only students enrolled in two-year colleges are eligible to participate.

Only students who haven't received any degree/diploma, including within or outside of the U.S, can enter the competition.

AMATYC is divided into eight regions: Central, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, Southwest, and West.
