The 28th Annual (2006) University of Maryland High School Mathematics Competition

The format:
Part I - 25 multiple choice questions, 75 min; 
Part II - 5 problems, 2 hours.

Part I of the Competition is open to all students enrolled in high schools in Maryland and the District of Columbia. High scores on Part I will qualify to participate in Part II of the Competition. The three participants earning the highest combined scores on both parts will win $500, $400, and $300, respectively.
In addition to a sound knowledge of high school mathematics (up to, but not including, calculus), both parts will require a fair amount of mathematical insight and ingenuity.

The dates for 2006:
Part I, Wednesday, October 25, 1:00 - 3:00; 
Part II, Wednesday, November 29, 1:00 - 3:00.

Registration is normally done through the student's high school. For special situations (for example, home-schooled students), contact Larry Washington (lcw `at' math.umd.edu). There is no registration fee for the Competition. It's free.
