The Department of Mathematics organizes two math tournaments every year:
a high school math tournament and junior high math tournament.
The Jay Cliett and Bill Kipp High School Math Tournament -2018
This year's Jay Cliett and Bill Kipp High School Mathematics Tournament
was held on February 13, 2018. There were more than 500 students, teachers and
sponsors from 42 high schools. From this year, the tournament is named after
Dr. Jay Cliett and Dr. Bill Kipp to honor their contribution for the
establishment of this tournament.
GSW Junior Math Tournament - 2018
The Junior Math Tournament was held on March 3, 2018. The campus was flooded
with young mathematicians. There were more than 1100 students competing in the
Tournament which represented 60 schools. Most of the students came with their
parents and grandparents. Some students participated from as far away as Florida and
Alabama. The tournament was a great success and is one of the biggest events
on campus, which brings 2500+ people to our Universtiy in a single day.
The Math Tournaments are getting more popular every year and this is happening only with
the support of GSW and many volunteers. The Math Department truly appreciates
everyone’s efforts that help make the tournaments a success.
