Warning: Participating in, or even scoring well at HMMT will not get you into Harvard or MIT. We have no affiliation with the admissions offices at either of these schools.

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 run exclusively by MIT and Harvard students. Most of us participated in math contests in high school, and we try to incorporate what we liked best about those competitions into HMMT. We hope this will make the contest both challenging and entertaining for all the participants.

The twelfth annual HMMT was held on Saturday, February 21, 2009, at MIT. With 900 participants, HMMT is one of the largest math contests in the United States. If you have any comments regarding HMMT, please email them to hmmt-feedback@mit.edu.

More detailed information about tournament events is available on our rules page. Problems, solutions, and results from past HMMT contests are also available. Please see our FAQ page more information on accommodations, directions, and contest and registration policies.

If you are an MIT or Harvard student interested in helping either organize the tournament beforehand or run it on contest day, here's how to join the HMMT staff.

Thank you, and see you at HMMT!
