What are ATPAC, ASMA, and NAT? The only possiblity I've found is ASMA could be "American Scholastic Math Association," but that doesn't really make sense. Also, NAT currently links to Network Address Translation, which is no good. Also the whole article is a candidate to go to Wiktionary. LizardWizard 08:09, Feb 1, 2005 (UTC)

I removed those references since they don't provide any real information to the article. Unless someone can elaborate on those terms, they should be left out of the article L4ck 0f 54n17y 02:55, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

"Copyrighted"? A single word can't be protected by copyright. What is the actual situation?

Could delete this page and directly link to here:[[1]]??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.249.72.31 (talk) 02:09, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

The term "Mathlete" is the term that is used to define the middle-schoolers who participate in MathCounts that term is copyrighted by MathCounts because of the way it is widely used, just like how the term "Steeler" is copyrighted by the football team Pittsburgh Steelers. --TheNextOneAcross 04:09, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Preeminent?

Claims of preeminence need to be backed up with evidence. The US has no particular claim to mathematical preeminence. And even if the claim is restricted to preeminence within the US it still must be backed with a citation. Galerita (talk) 06:54, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

amateurs

Note that mathletes (at least how it is defined in this article) are amateurs (students, etc.) even though they can get paid a cash prize. However, competitors in computer programming competitions may also be referred to as 'mathletes', but they mostly are professionals. 72.174.131.123 (talk) 07:19, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
