Department Held Fifth Mathematics Prize Competition

 Every year the Western Michigan University Department of Mathematics holds a Mathematics Prize Competition where undergraduate students from all of the University’s majors and disciplines are invited to compete. The goal of the one-day competition is to measure raw talent and is designed to tap into students’ creative problem solving skills.

The winners represent WMU in the William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition, which hosts about 4,000 undergraduate participants in the United States and Canada each December.
