Who Wants to Be a
Mathematician: Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., organized
by Michael A. Breen and Annette W. Emerson,
AMS; and William T. Butterworth, Barat College
of DePaul University. Come watch ten of Phoenix's top
high school students as they have the chance to compete
for cash and prizes by answering questions about mathematics.
There is no partial credit to agonize over, and the top
prize is $2,000. Contestants can ask for help from the
audience, so the more people in the audience who know
mathematics, the better it is for the contestants. You
are invited to come and take part in this educational
and fun presentation.
