The UCA Department of Mathematics this Saturday will host the annual High School Mathematics Contest sponsored by the Arkansas Council of Teachers of Mathematics (ACTM). Over 300 high school students from junior high and senior high schools throughout Arkansas will convene on the UCA campus (Mathematics and Computer Science Building) to compete for trophies, scholarships and other prizes in one of five contests: Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, Pre-Calculus/Trigonometry, and Calculus I. Students earned the opportunity to participate in the state contest by placing in one of fifteen regional contests throughout the state held earlier in the spring. Winners will be announced at an Awards Ceremony scheduled for 12:30 p.m. in the Centre Stage Theater of Snow Fine Arts Center. Awards will be presented by Melanie Nichols, President ACTM and Dr. Charles D. Watson, Contest Director and Associate Professor of Mathematics at UCA. Dr. Ramesh Garimella is Chair of the Department of Mathematics. For additional information, contact Dr. Charles D. Watson, 501-450-5681 or charlesw@uca.edu.
