The department of Mathematical Sciences is running the competition “Math Problem of the Week”. This competition will run for the remaining of the Fall 2024 semester. Each week a new problem will be announced and we welcome solutions from everyone and the undergraduate participants from the NMSU main campus with the most correct solutions at the end of the semester receiving an award of $500. If there is more than one winner, this amount will be divided among all of them. The problems from the competition do not assume much background and everyone is encouraged to participate. At the end of the semester, the participants that submit correct solutions to at least half of the problems, regardless of their NMSU status (student, faculty, staff, etc.), will receive a Honorable Mention and their names will be listed on the webpages above.


Solutions can be submitted to mathpotw@nmsu.edu
