The 19th Annual Undergraduate Mathematics Competition at GSU took place on Friday, April 18, 2025.

A total of 26 students who formed 11 teams competed. Some results were so close! But winners and runner-ups had to be determined anyway. In the end of the day, the following teams took the top four places. (Members of each team are listed alphabetically.)

• IV place: team “Group 1” — Ivan Chumakov, Rachel Li, Debosmita Mallick.
• III place: team “Anomalocaris” — Tanya Singh, Esther Janetsky, Willow Shoffeitt.
• II place: team “π” — Raut Manish, Sahan Shrestha, Arnav Sutraway.
• I place: team “Last Place” — Soham Darji, James Han, Stephanie Hayden.

Congratulations to all winners, runner-ups, and participants!

You can find the problems from the competition on the Past Competitions page.

The 19th Annual Undergraduate Mathematics Competition at GSU will take place on Friday, April 18, 2025, starting at 13:30, in Aderhold 304.

• This is a fun contest where students are given the chance to showcase their solving problem techniques. The problems will concentrate more on creativity and natural talent and less on long and routine computations. The problems will roughly be chosen from topics such as sequences, limits, continuity, differentiation, and integration of one variable function, plus mathematical induction, sets, functions, geometry, etc. The contest is open to any student who is currently enrolled in an undergraduate mathematics course at any campus of Georgia State University. Those who participate can solve some interesting problems, make new friends, and discuss mathematics for a couple of hours.
• The contest will have three parts as follows.
  • Part I: 30 minutes, 6 multiple choice questions. Each correct answer is 3 pts. Followed by a 15 minute break.
  • Part II: 30 minutes, 6 free response problems that require complete solutions. Each correct solution is 5 pts. Followed by a 15 minute break.
  • Part III: 20 minutes, 2 more challenging free response problems. Each correct solution is 10 pts.
• Students can compete individually (i.e., as a team of one), in teams of two, or in teams of three.
• The first three teams will get prizes in the form of (TBD).
  • First prize: $150;
  • Second prize: $120;
  • Third prize: $90.
• To register, please RSVP to the event on PIN at https://pin.gsu.edu/event/11130195. Registration deadline is Thursday, April 17, 2025, by 17:00.
