History
ARML was started in 1976 as a mathematics competition
Format
The ARML has several different events:
- A team round, in which the entire team works on ten problems together
- A power round, where the questions are proof-oriented and are in a theme
- An individual round, where each individual takes a ten question test
- Two relay rounds, where the answer to one problem is necessary to solve the next problem
- A super relay, a relay round where each team submits one answer

Books
There are four books of past ARML problems, though some of them are out of print and/or hard to find.
