Thank you to all people who participated in our fourth annual Math Day. Planning for Math Day 5 will begin soon. There are now links to the problems of Math Day Four and their solutions, to the winners and all those who received prizes this year, including in the "Who wants to be a Mathematician" game. There is also a link to a photo gallery. In addition, the winners page has links to an MS-Excel file ranking all the teams, and to one ranking all the individual contestants who finished in the top half. Another link to follow is the link to the page posted by the American Mathematical Society on the game "Who wants to be a Mathematician" played at FAU.
About FAU. Florida Atlantic University serves over 19,600 undergraduates, and 3,300 graduate and professional students in a rapidly expanding urban environment with a main campus located three miles from the Atlantic Ocean, on an 850-acre site in Boca Raton. The department of mathematical sciences offers the degrees BA, BS, MS, MS in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, MS in Teaching, and PhD in Mathematics. There are 35 faculty members in the department, most of them actively engaged in research in areas that range from the purely classical to cutting edge applications in biomathematics and communications security. Students graduating from the department have the option of pursuing careers in teaching, in industry, or continue their mathematical education by enrolling in a graduate program, either at FAU or elsewhere. For qualified students, the department offers a combined BS-MS program.
