About

UC Berkeley Golden Bear Math Competition is a high school–level, olympiad-style math competition for students who enjoy challenging problem-solving. The competition is designed to test creative thinking, logical reasoning, and advanced mathematical skills through rigorous problems beyond the standard classroom curriculum. Although the questions are multiple-choice, participants are required to submit their solutions as a PDF to demonstrate their reasoning and problem-solving process.
