Seven Augsburg students majoring in Mathematics, Computer Science, Data Science, Biopsychology, and Physics competed in the 27th annual North Central Section Mathematical Association of America Jerry Heuer Team Competition.
Bailey Angell, Ivan Baune, Taylor Fritz, Grant Lillehei, Abby Luallen, Addison McCarl, Ivie Taft formed three teams that wrestled with ten challenging mathematics problems from a wide range of mathematical fields using only whiteboards, markers, paper and pencils, and three hours on a Saturday morning!
The Auggies competed against over 60 teams from Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Canada. Results will be announced in the next couple of weeks.
Thanks to the MCD department and Prof. Haines for support of the event. If you would like to test your mathematical chops, old problems (and solutions!) can be found at https://www.northcentral.maa.org/teamcontest.
