Problem of the Week
The Problem of the Week is a fun math challenge open to all students. It is designed to provide Centre students with an ongoing opportunity to solve challenging mathematical problems. Once a week we will post problems from various areas of mathematics for anyone to attempt to solve.
You can submit solutions by either typing up your work or submitting a scan of your written work to oscar.zatarain-vera@centre.edu, by the end of the day on the due date listed.
A correct solution submitted in time will be awarded 1 point, and the scores will be tallied throughout the semester. The leaderboard will be updated at the end of each week and be posted on this page. The student with the greatest number of points at the end of the semester will receive a prize.
