MATHS QUIZ 2000
Every mathematician in the world is invited to take part in a
unique mathematical contest in which competitors will answer
as many challenging mathematical questions as possible.
We call it the MATHS QUIZ 2000, and it is a contribution of the
CRM (Barcelona) to the celebrations of World Mathematical Year.
We are talking about a question-and-answer global and live
competition. All the competitors (individuals or small teams)
will compete in real time through the Internet.
The contest will start at 12 o'clock (midday) Greenwich Mean Time
on the 17th of October this year and will last exactly 24 hours,
without interruption.
Beyond the thrill of the challenge, the winners will be rewarded
with two sorts of prizes. The five highest scoring competitors
will each receive workstations courtesy of Sun Microsystems, the
main sponsor of the competition. On the other hand, to spur on
all the players, even those far behind the leaders, we will be
giving away throughout the competition a considerable number of
book tokens valued at 100 Euros which have been offered by
Birkhauser Verlag to be used in the purchase of books from this
publisher.
So mark the 17th of October in your diaries, find a small group
of colleagues, and register for the MATHS QUIZ 2000 at the site:
http://www.mq2000.org
Organized by the Centre de Recerca Matematica (http://www.crm.es).
Organizers: Rafel Serra ([log in to unmask]) and
Jaume Aguade ([log in to unmask]).
