Math Beauty Contest

The theme of the VCTM 2003 spring conference was “Mathematics: A Universal Network of Beauty.”  Johnny Lott, President of NCTM, commented in his address to participants that he liked the conference title and thought it might be nice to have a Mathematics Beauty Contest.  We thought this would be a great way to give students throughout Virginia a chance to show their problem solving ability in “beautiful ways.”  We are looking forward to having many “beautiful” entries for this “Mathematics Beauty Contest.”  Mathematics truly is a beautiful subject and we want the world to know it.

We are currently revamping the math beauty contest. Details will be announced when they are available.
