Welcome to the University of Louisiana at Lafayette Mathematics Department On-line Problem Solving Competition page. As a part of our celebration of Mathematics and Statistics Awareness Month we are posting sets of problems and asking you to send us your solutions.

There are problem sets for each of four levels.

• Set AA - middle school problems (for lower grade levels) pdf version
• Set A - middle school problems pdf version
• Set B - high school problems pdf version
• Set C - college level problems pdf version

Instructions for Participants

• You do not have to solve all of the problems in a set.
• You are asked not only to solve the problems but also to justify your solutions by explaining the reasoning leading to your solutions.
• Be sure that you try to find all the possible solutions for a problem.
• If you wish, you are welcome to participate at higher levels by solving problems from any set.
• If you have a question about the statement of a problem, please contact us and we will try to help.
• If we have a question about your solution, we will contact you.

1. You can find problems and solutions from the math contests run by the American Mathematics Competitions on the following pages: AMC 8 / AJHSME Problems and Solutions AMC 10 Problems and Solutions AMC 12 Problems and Solutions.
2. The American Scholastic Mathematics Association (ASMA) is a middle/high school team competition with the top eight scorers of each team counted towards the team's total. The test is 35 minutes long and assumes the use of a calculator.

Competitions

Every year, several dozen Duke undergraduates participate in the Virginia Tech and Putnam math competitions. Carnival.com. See recent and past competition honors received by Duke Undergraduates in these competitions.

Duke Math Meet

The Duke Math Meet (DMM) is a regional mathematics competition for high school students held at Duke University each year. The contest is organized by the members of the Duke University Mathematics Union (DUMU), and is sponsored by the Duke Mathematics department.

More Than 20,000 Mathematics Contest Problems And Solutions

The DMM lasts for one day from morning to afternoon, during which the students have fun solving challenging mathematics problems while making many new friends with contestants from other schools and states.

Problem Solving Seminar

Cached

A half-credit seminar, MATH 281S is intended for students who enjoy solving interesting math problems and may also prepare students for the coming math competitions. We discuss how to solve math competition questions and focus on the intuition behind solutions, as well as various tools we can use. Students are asked to work on challenging math problems one evening a week and to write up careful solutions with complete and rigorous proofs. Students are expected to compete in the Virginia Tech and Putnam math competitions, and assist with writing questions for the Duke Math Meet.
