The Department of Mathematical Sciences at Clemson University will host the "Clemson Calculus Challenge," on Saturday, April 17, 2004, on campus at the Hendrix Student Center. We invite you to bring a group of your calculus students and join us for this competition.
Each student will take an individual calculus test in the morning from 10:00 to 12:00 am. There will be a team competition in the afternoon from 1:00 to 2:30 pm. Each team will consist of from two to four students. Each high school can enter up to twelve students and three teams. Teams will be specified at check in on the day of the contest. Calculators will not be allowed or required for individual and team competitions.
After the team competition, there will be an awards ceremony with individual, team, and school prizes for small and large schools. All participants will receive a T-shirt.
Each participant is to provide their own lunch, but the Hendrix Student Center contains a food court and there is a student cafeteria a short walk across campus. There is ample parking adjacent to the Hendrix Student Center.
There will be coffee and refreshments for the teachers/coaches while students are taking the individual calculus test in the morning.
