The Simon Marais Mathematics Competition is a mathematics competition for undergraduate university students. It began in 2017 and is modelled on the William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition.
The 2021 competition will be held on Saturday 9 October. See the flyer for some important information and the competition website for all details about the comp.
The School of Mathematics and Statistics will be offering internal prizes for the best-performing UNSW students in the following categories:
- $1000 each to the two highest-scoring individual entrants of different genders.
- $1000 each ($500 for each member) to the two highest-scoring pair entrants that are not all of the same gender. (For example, if the top three UNSW pair entrants are ordered female/female, female/female, female/male, then these prizes would be awarded to the first and third teams.)
Students must register for the competition before 5:00pm 19 September by completing and submitting this online form. The registration form has now closed; thank you to all who registered!
