Math Days 2010

High School DILs,


Attached is the flyer announcing the 2nd annual Palm Beach Atlantic Mathematics Competition on Saturday, May 1, 2010. Last year’s completion was a great success in large part due to its unique format and use of computer technology.

Please note that registration is limited to the first 20 teams responding by April 21, 2010. Also note that the Publicity Release needs to be completed for each student competing.

Thank you!

Registration for the sixth annual Math Day at Florida Atlantic University is now open. Math Day 2010 will be held on Saturday, April 10, 2010, on the Boca Raton Campus of Florida Atlantic University. If you are a high school student who likes and enjoys mathematics come for a day of excitement and fun, with a chance to win prizes and to learn more about mathematics. If you are a teacher, come to see your students compete and to meet your college colleagues.

As in previous years, Math Day is an opportunity for mathematics faculty and mathematically inclined students of high schools in Palm Beach, Broward, Martin and Dade counties, and for math faculty at Florida Atlantic University, to get together, get to know each other, and share their appreciation of mathematics. Students can register as individuals or be registered by a teacher as part of a team. Students registered as part of a team are also automatically registered as individuals and can take part in all competitions.

Registration is free and is on a first come, first served basis. It will be held open until 200 students are registered or until 5PM of April 9, whichever happens first. Depending on the number of participants, late, at the door registration might be allowed. To register, please click on the link for Math Day 2010
