Nine Wittenberg math students braved the cold and early morning hours to compete against more than 50 students from colleges across Ohio during the Five College Mathematics Competition, Feb. 11.
The annual competition, this year held at Kenyon College, provides an opportunity for students statewide to gather and do what they love — talk about and do math. Armed with nothing but pencils and paper and lots of enthusiasm, three person teams worked in separate rooms for two hours to complete 10 problems.
Mathematics professors Al Stickney, Bill Higgins and Adam Parker accompanied the group, which included seniors Lisa Bendure, Lindsay Jacobs, Ellen Peterson and Karl Schmitt, juniors Alex Brown, Steve Dennett and Emily List, and first-year students Alyssa Armstrong and Daniel Marous.
