ARML
The American Regions Mathematical League (ARML) is an annual middle-school and high-school mathematics competition. I am currently one of the head coaches for the Western Pennsylvania ARML Team, a local Pittsburgh-based team of over 50 students. Throughout the year, we hold weekly practice sessions (now over Zoom due to COVID) and also partake in many other local/national math competitions. Feel free to contact us and check out our website.
