The Virginia Tech Regional Mathematics Contest is sponsored each fall by the Mathematics Department at Virginia Tech. More than 120 colleges and universities throughout VA, NC, MD, WV, TN, and DC are invited to participate each year. Now approaching its 18th year, the contest began in 1979 and has grown to the point where over 40 schools with over 200 contestants participate in a typical year. The Va Tech Regional Mathematics Contest is conducted each fall, usually near the end of October. The Freshman-Sophomore Mathematics Contest is open to all Va Tech undergraduates with no more than 70 semester hours completed by the beginning of the spring semester, including transfer credit.
All students take the same test.
Freshmen compete for one prize, sophomores for another. The Freshman - Sophomore Contest is conducted each spring, usually in the first half of April.
