The Department of Mathematical Sciences will host our 15th Annual AMC8 Middle School Math Day on Saturday, January 24, 2026. This year, there will be a limit of 100 participants with a parent or teacher. Please note that may be paper-and-pencil version or a computerized version of the AMC8, but emails are needed for all attendees. Students may be taken to a computer lab for the AMC8 contest.
The program will begin with the AMC-8 Competition , a contest sponsored by the Mathematical Association of America, followed by a Mathematical Talk for all by Dr. Dipayan Das, titled, "A gentle introduction to Cryptography."
Lunch and our Team Contest, led by Dr. Veronika Kuchta.
High scoring students will be encouraged to participate in the AMC 10 Contest in November 2026.
An tentative schedule appears below:
Scheduled Place: College of Science Building (SE) Main Entrance, with parking in the Lot #4.

Mathematical Talk for all! Title: A gentle introduction to Cryptography Cryptography is the science of secure communication. In this talk, we will formally introduce the concept of cryptography and explore what can be achieved using cryptographic techniques. We will then review the historical development of the field, beginning with Shannon’s one-time pad, moving through symmetric-key cryptography, and concluding with public-key cryptography. |
