The Colorado Math Olympiad will return to the University of Colorado Colorado Springs for its 28th year April 22.<\/p>\n
An estimated 400 middle and high school students from around the state will meet in Berger Hall and the Gallogly Events Center at 9 a.m. Participants are given four hours to complete five essay-style problems.<\/p>\n
The CMO, chaired by Alex Soifer, professor, Interdepartmental Studies, is a chance for middle and high school students to test their talents and ingenuity while competing for medals, scholarships and other prizes.<\/p>\n
The CMO is the largest mathematical competition in the United States with participants competing against one another, grades 6 through 12. Annually, prizes are provided by the competition sponsors, such as Intermap Technologies, Wolfram Research and Texas Instruments.<\/p>\n
UCCS Chancellor Pam Shockley-Zalabak will offer gold, silver and bronze medalists a scholarship to UCCS. Other prizes include Casio calculators and math software.<\/p>\n
Student participation is free and open to all students grade 6-12. There is no limit on the number of schools or students who may participate.<\/p>\n
Winners will be announced at an April 29 awards ceremony in the Upper Lodge. At that time, Soifer will deliver a lecture entitled \u201cA Proof from The Book\u201d and present the awards. A reception will follow.<\/p>\n
The Colorado Math Olympiad is supported by Casio Inc., Wolfram Research, the Office of the Chancellor, College of Letters, Arts, & Sciences, School District 20, School District 11, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper\u2019s Office, and City of Colorado Springs Mayor Lionel Rivera\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n
