Hello. Not a long time ago I moved to US (more particulaty to PA). So, I figured out everything with school, and now I'm curious about cp here. I know about codechef, atcoder, google jam and others, but I want to know more about specifically US stuff (the only thing I know is usaco). So, I have two following questions:
1) What local cp contests are worth participating in?
2) I want to start doing math, so I have same question about math contests.
Thank you in advance.
Please?..
If you're in high school, then you have USACO/IOI for cp, and AMC/AIME/USA(J)MO/MOP/IMO for math. If you'rein college, then ICPC, gcj, kickstart for cp and HMMT and Putnam for math.
HMMT is a high school contest. For other math contest recommendations, consider PUMaC and ARML.
Brain farts, you're right (above and below)
ARML is for high school students; I recommended it (along with PUMaC) as additional HS math contest options (though I should have made it clearer that these are high school contests, not college contests).
There is another coding-related contest called acsl, tho I wouldn't call it cp.
Codeforces
But almost every cf is contest is at 10 am on weekdays. It's kinda difficult to participate during my classes.
Then it's very fortunate that every cf round just happens to be when you're not feeling well
yes codeforces, atcoder, and codechef contests are all targeted for eastern timezones :(
Unfortunately, there are very few in-person/local programming competitions in the US outside of ICPC. CodeQuest and CodeWars are the only semi-active ones I'm aware of, and they are not known for excellent problem quality (lots of ugly input parsing...).
I love this guy.
Depending on where in PA you're in and how far you're willing to go the following contests should be accessible:
For Math:
However, I think all of these are team contests, so you might need to find a team, but some of the contests will be able to put you in an "individuals" team.
