Night: Dr. Robert W. vallin MAA and Slippery Rock University “Are You Smarter Than This Mathematician?” This is a new game desgned by the MAA for future use at section meetings. The TUMC has graciously agreed to test this creation. A student, with four helpful friends, answers mathematical questions of various levels of difficulty. If a contestant clears the board, he/she can opt to go on for one final question which, if answered, proves the student to be smarter than the mathematician who madeup the questions. Categories include sequences and series, famous mathematicians, modern algebra, and advanced calculus. Teams from SHSU, UT-Tyler, SFASU, and UTA will compete against this mathematician. |
