Mathematics Club
Description
The Raffles Institution Mathematics Club (RIMC) has been the focal point for students that display an aptitude and exceptional ability in competition mathematics. Members are selected by taking an entry test at Secondary 1 level to select the best students to represent the school in various mathematical competitions. Students then face weekly trainings to brush up their problem-solving skills and also to expose themselves to an array of mathematical questions from various branches, such as combinatorics, number theory, geometry, trigonometry, probability and algebra.
Competitions that students usually take part include the American Mathematics Competition, in which students do well will be invited to take part in the American Invitational Mathematical Examination (AIME), the Singapore Mathematical Olympiad in three categories, Junior, Senior and Open, and lastly the Australian Mathematics Competition.
