The
Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at The Citadel is planning to
host a "Mathematics Competition" to be held on three Wednesdays,
February 11, February 18, and February 25, 2009.
There
will be two levels of competition available, and each school may choose to send
students to either or both levels. Level
I questions will include topics from Algebra I, Algebra II and Geometry. The
level I competition is open to any student who has not had a course more
advanced than Algebra II or Geometry.
The level II questions will include topics from Algebra, Geometry,
Trigonometry and Advanced Mathematics (Algebra III, Calculus).
Competitions will be held from 3:45 to 5:45
each Wednesday in Duckett Hall Auditorium on campus at The Citadel. (Level I
4:00 to 4:45, level II 5:00 to 5:45, we ask you to arrive early so the competitions
may begin at these times.) Parking will
be available in the lot on Congress Street Extension which is sandwiched

It
is not necessary that each school be represented at each competition. I look forward to sharing this experience
with you. Please see http://155.225.48.146/highcomp/2009stuf/2009.htm
