Calc-Bowl
Calc-Bowl is a lively playoff competition between teams
where the questions are multiple-choice pre-calculus and
calculus questions, designed to test the teams' math knowledge.
There will be 10-15 teams with a maximum of 5 members per team allowed. One
multiple choice problem (sample problem )
will be presented at a time. The first team to buzz in, gets to answer the
problem. There will be several rounds of play and a final playoff for
first place. 2009 Calc-Bowl Flyer
The first Calc-Bowl was in 2007,
click here for the URI media report, and was an outstanding success.
We will continue to offer the Calc-Bowl every year and encourage
teams from local high schools and colleges to paticpate.
