Each year since 1977 the Department has hosted Colorado State University Math Day. Math Day attracts 600 to 700 of the best math students from Colorado high schools for a day of mathematics competition. This annual event has helped the Department maintain close ties with Colorado secondary schools. The interest in Colorado State University Math Day has been great and we anticipate that this interest will continue. Colorado State Math Day is a day of competitive mathematics exams for high school students.
Registration is by recommendation of high school teachers.
A written exam featuring challenging problems with potential scholarships for the ten highest scores. Sample Team Questions from Past Years may be found here. There are some additional requirements that any potential scholarship awardees must be aware of. Should they decide to attend Colorado State University, the scholarships are restricted to students who claim mathematics as their primary major. Also, a cumulative grade point average of 3.25 must be maintained every semester to continue receiving the scholarship.
