For generations Jews have excelled in mathematics. Their
mathematical knowledge and creativity has greatly benefited
mankind, been a source of pride for the Jewish people and has
resulted in a kiddush hashem throughout the world. See the attached
links for information on Jews in Mathematics in general and the
Ralbag in particular. Unfortunately the study of mathematics has
declined both in the Jewish and the secular arenas, though the world
has become more complex and knowledge of mathematics has
become more critical.
To stimulate interest in the study of mathematics amongst yeshiva
high school students, the Lander College for Men is organizing a
mathematics contest with valuable prizes for the contest winners.
The contest is designed to broaden and enrich students' knowledge
of mathematics and to enhance their mathematical creativity. It is
open to all full-time yeshiva high school students in the USA and
Canada, and will provide a first prize of $1,000. Prizes will be
awarded based upon an examination covering mathematical material
related to the normal high school mathematics curriculum. Practice
material will be available periodically on the internet, and will consist
of challenging and interesting problems and their solutions.
The contest examination is to be based on the practice problems to
be provided to all participants. These practice problems are divided
into modules and for best results participants are strongly
encouraged to complete the modules in accordance with the contest
schedule. Typically learning modules will consist of 3 problems
based upon high school mathematics and their solutions.
