The written exam will cover knowledge related to arithmetic, algebra, geometry, pre-calculus, trigonometry, counting, probability, and number theory. Schools will choose three students to participate in the team relays, where they will answer a series of questions against the clock. �Our goal is to stimulate interest in mathematics among high school students and to recognize those who exhibit exceptional talent,� said Dr. Rick Chow, chair of the division of math and computer science at USC Upstate. Outstanding individual participants will be awarded prizes which include plaques, awards, t-shirts, and four-year USC Upstate tuition vouchers in the amounts of $1,000, $500 and $250.
