Contest Explanations

Post by Michael on Wed Sep 24, 2008 3:54 pm

I was thinking we should post the rules and format of the individual competitions in each section so people in Mu Alpha Theta (and not Math Club) can better see which contests they want to compete in.

However, I really can't write the TMSCA explanations, only the Computer Science ones, because my experience with TMSCA is only from middle-school.

I agree. This is a math club community after all. We should share rules for contests. And for TMSCA Ani, Grant and I will help post the rules for greenhorn members. LOL There we go. Wikipedia is so awesome.

I approve.
Some people like me do specialize in some topics, so we may not be aware of the rules in the other sections.
Also, CompSci tests are new to some of us, so rules are appreciated

I believe that majority rules and we should lock this topic.
