Problem of the Week
In the Spring of 2013, the Department of Mathematics will be having a problem of the week-solving contest for students, in which any full-time UWP student is eligible to participate. On every Wednesday , starting January 30, a problem will be posted on the website, and interested students will be given a week to work on the problem. Solutions must be submitted in the Math office (Gardner 435) by 4:00 pm the following Wednesday. Submitted solutions will be assigned a score between 0 and 10. Each week the student with the “best” solution to each problem will be awarded a ten dollar ($10) Chamber of Commerce gift certificate. The students with the best cumulative scores will be awarded a monetary prize at the annual Department of Mathematics Banquet. For complete rules see Rules.
Problems from the previous semesters can be found here.
