The Texas team usually comprises about 45 students from all over Texas who share a common interest in mathematics. Invitations are based on the AMC and other contest results. We start the weekend with a camaraderie-building bus ride. The day before the contest, a two hour test is used to help select the 15 member Gold, Silver, and Bronze teams.

Edward Early made his first ARML trip in
1994 as a member of the Texas Silver team.
He has been a coach most years since 1997 (and even coached another team one year!).
Edward started leading the trip in 2007 and fully took over as head coach in 2010.
He spent 8 years at
MIT where he helped start the Harvard-MIT Math Tournament
with a couple of other Texas ARML alumni, then taught at the Bergen County Academies
(aka AAST) in Hackensack, New Jersey. He is now an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at
St. Edward's University in Austin. Edward can be reached at edwarde at stedwards dot edu. |

Zach Abel is an alumnus of Harvard, where he was an editor of the Harvard College Mathematics Review. He made his movie debut as himself in the 2008 blockbuster Hard Problems. He is now a graduate student at MIT. He joined the ARML team in 2003 and the coaching staff in 2007. |

John Cocharo is the chair of the math department at The Oakridge School in Arlington. He has won the Sliffe Award for both middle school and high school teaching. He joined the coaching staff in 2010. |

Alana Rosenwasser is a graduate student and alumna at Texas State. She joined the ARML team in 1999 and the coaching staff in 2002. |

Greg Yang is a student at Harvard. He is interested in applying math to sociology and social psychology. He joined the ARML team in 2008 and the coaching staff in 2011. |

Sam Baethge (roughly pronounced BAY-gee with a hard g, or just Sam) is a retired high school math teacher who has coached the Texas team since 1981 and been head coach since 1983, when he took over from founder George Berzsenyi. Do the math, that's more than a quarter century of ARML! There wasn't even an Iowa site back then, so the team had to travel all the way to DC or Pennsylvania. He received the Alfred Kalfus Founder's Award for long-term service to ARML in 1997 and the Samuel L. Greitzer Distinguished Coach Award for outstanding service to a regional team in 2003. He is the only person who has received both of those awards. He also picked up two Sliffe Awards over the years. Sam led the trip until 2005, and continued to organize the team until 2010. He is now the head coach emeritus. |
