Mathlete

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A mathlete is a portmanteau of the words math and athlete.

The word refers to a person who competes in mathematics competitions at any level or any age.[1] Mathlete is a registered trademark of the MathCounts foundation.[2]

On the Mathletics website, the word "mathlete" not only means a user of Mathletics, but also the imaginary character profile they create for themselves.
