Peru, Nebraska – The Greater Southeast Nebraska Mathematics Challenge, which was founded in 1993 on the Peru State College campus, has announced the winners of its 25th annual contest.
Dr. Laura McCauley, assistant professor of math at Peru State College, said, “It was awesome! More than 125 students from 12 schools joined us for a great time at the 25th anniversary of the Challenge.”
The competition consisted of three different sessions. The first session was a forty-question multiple choice individual exam in the subject for which the student registered. The second test was a team exam where students answered open-ended mathematics questions. The third session was a quiz bowl against other students in one of the specific subject areas.
The top three individual scores on the written tests and the top team score for each division and subject were given awards. Certificates were presented to the quiz bowl finalist teams.
