The Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing (CEMC), founded in 1995 and hosted at the University of Waterloo, administers mathematics and computing contests for high school students from around the world.

Each successive year of the Canadian Mathematics Competitions (CMC) is named after a different mathematician.[citation needed]

  • Grade 7 - Gauss 7
  • Grade 8 - Gauss 8
  • Grade 9 - Pascal and Fryer
  • Grade 10 - Cayley and Galois
  • Grade 11 - Fermat and Hypatia
  • Grade 12 - Euclid
  • Grade 9 and 10 - Canadian Intermediate Mathematics Contest (New - beginning in November 2011)
  • Grade 11 and 12 - Canadian Senior Mathematics Contest (New - beginning in November 2011)

The Euclid contest is used as a performance indicator for the University of Waterloo, who will be more likely to consider students with high results.[citation needed]

The CEMC also hosts the Canadian Computing Competition (CCC), which is offered at the Junior and Senior levels for all high school students.[citation needed]
