什么是AIME？

AIME是美国数学邀请赛(American Invitational Mathematics Examination)的首字母缩写，是美国数学竞赛AMC(American Mathematics Competition)系列赛事之一，也是美国国际数学奥林匹克(IMO)代表队系列选拔赛的第二项赛事。

全面解读｜美国数学邀请赛AIME 绝大多数晋级AIME的选手是高中生，也有极少数顶尖的初中生可晋级AIME。从AMC 12晋级并在AIME中取得高分的选手将晋级USAMO(United States of America Mathematics Olympiad)，而从AMC 10晋级并在AIME中取得高分的选手将晋级USAJMO(United States of America Junior Mathematics Olympiad)。

怎样报名参赛

AIME是邀请赛，在当年的AMC 10竞赛中排名前2.5%左右或AMC 12竞赛中排名前5%左右才能获邀参赛。

AMC 10和12晋级AIME的分数线通常在AIME考试前3周左右公布。

近5年晋级AIME的分数线如下：

年份	AMC 10A	AMC 10B	AMC 12A	AMC 12B
2020	103.5	102	87	87
2019	103.5	108	84	94.5
2018	111	108	93	99
2017	112.5	120	96	100
2016	110	110	93	93

AIME都考哪些内容？

和AMC 10、AMC 12一样，考查范围仍然是算术、代数、计数、几何、数论和概率，以及其他高中数学知识。微积分不在数学竞赛考查范围内，但允许使用微积分方法解题。

AIME难度如何？

通常前几题的难度大致相当于AMC 12的水平，而越往后题目难度越大。通常多数学生能做出第1-5题；到了第6-10题则是区分度最大的题，经过专门的训练、在AMC 12或AMC 10中排名前1%左右的选手一般能做对一部分题；而一般在考场上能做出第11-15题的都是极其顶尖的选手。

从历年受邀参加AIME并获奖的中国学生和所在学校的分布情况来看，不少都是参加过国家队数学奥林匹克集训的选手和长期培养国际数学奥林匹克竞赛(IMO)选手的学校。

[AIME I, 2018Q10]
The wheel shown below consists of two circles and five spokes, with a label at each point where a spoke meets a circle. A bug walks along the wheel, starting at point . At every step of the process, the bug walks from one labeled point to an adjacent labeled point. Along the inner circle the bug only walks in a counterclockwise direction, and along the outer circle the bug only walks in a clockwise direction. For example, the bug could travel along the path , which has 10 steps. Let be the number of paths with 15 steps that begin and end at point . Find the remainder when is divided by 1000.!
