Mathematics Announces Winners of the 24th Annual Mu Alpha Theta Contest


This spring the Mu Alpha Theta (Mathematics) Contest continued its tradition of posing mathematical questions of varying difficulty to students in the Department of Mathematics.

Students worked on the examination for three 
hours on a Saturday morning, April 12th. As in the past, there are two
 categories distinguishing more advanced (B category) mathematics students who have completed more than one upper division mathematics course from beginning (A Category) mathematics students who have not completed more than one upper division mathematics course.

The contest was organized and judged this year by Professors Jeff Haag and Martin Flashman of the HSU Mathematics Department.



In the A category (for beginning math students) the first prize of $100
was won by Calandria Castro, the second place prize of $50 was won by
 Sarah Smith, while the third prize of $25 awarded to Michael Stobb.


First prize of $100 in the B category (for advanced math students) was won
 by Michael Campbell, the second prize of $50 was won by Nathan (Alf)
Skinner and third place prize of $25 was awarded to Michelle Gledhill.
