We know that MOPs program is the dream place for High School students who love math. MOPs Its main purpose is to train the USA IMO players and futures players. It has been at University of Nebraska Lincoln for many years.
I am very glad that it is hosted in CMU this year and hope that MOP can stay in CMU for next several years until my son can go there. π It is only several hours drive for us.
TJHSST sent several students to MOP 2015. (Blue and Pink MOPs). Hope there will be black MOPPER from TJHSST soon. π
——— Here is the brief location history of MOP program
The first few MOPs were held at Rutgers University. After that, and until 1995, the program was alternately hosted by the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland in even-numbered years and by the United States Military Academy at West Point in odd-numbered years. The 1995 MOP was held at IMSA in Aurora, Illinois, where then-MOP director Titu Andreescu was a member of the math faculty. Most of the MOPs from 1996 on forward have been held in Lincoln, Nebraska where the AMC headquarters is located. An exception was made in the summer of 2001, as the United States would be hosting the IMO that year in Washington, D.C., and nearby Georgetown was selected as the location for MOP. In 2015, MOP was held at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
