Tournament History
On February 21, 1998, MIT and Harvard joined forces
with Rice University and Washington University in St. Louis to hold
one of the largest high school math competitions in the nation. The
Harvard-MIT event was hosted at Harvard University, and followed the
testing format of the Rice Math
Tournament, an event which has been held nearly every year since
1981. National results for the
1998 contest are available.
On February 27, 1999, the contest was held once
again, this time hosted at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology. Events were held concurrently at Rice University and
Stanford University. However, Rice University chose to administer
slightly different examininations; thus, composite results for 1999 for
only the Harvard-MIT and Stanford sites are available.
The contest was held in 2000, see the these pages
for the results.

On March 3, 2001, the contest was held successfully. See this page for results.
On March 15, 2003, the tournament had significantly
more competitors. With 56 teams and over 400 students competing it
was the largest competition to date. Results are available here.
On February 28, 2004, the tournament was run by the
same director for the first time since the original director's reign
from '98 to '99. The tournament itself ran particularly well with new
database software designed for the math tournament. As a special
prize, high scoring individuals were presented with hand painted HMMT
klein bottles. Unfortunately we did not predict the increase in
demand in time this year, and as a result during the late registration
period we had to create a waiting list which contained half again the
400 students which did participate.
