bright young mathematicians invited to lakehead u

(thunder bay - april 11, 2006) 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 's department of mathematical sciences is inviting 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 from across northwestern ontario to take part in the 2006 td canada trust high school mathematics competition on may 10.

since 2003, the department of mathematical sciences has been hosting this competition to challenge the brightest young minds in thunder bay both in individual and team events in the junior and senior levels.

"the aim of this competition is to stimulate interest in mathematics among young people," says event organizer dr. peter mah, with the department of mathematical sciences. "we anticipate that some of these 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 will have careers in mathematics, but many will find themselves in careers requiring mathematical ability (such as any occupations in the sciences or engineering). the ability to reason that is nurtured by the study of mathematics is becoming steadily more important as our society advances technologically."

this year, the competition is sponsored by an endowment grant from the canadian mathematical society, as well as increased funding from the major sponsor, td canada trust. this allows the organizers to expand our contest beyond the boundary of thunder bay into other high schools in the northwestern ontario region.
