25th Annual Math Bowl

Please join us as we celebrate our 25th Annual Math Bowl at Northwest Florida State College on Friday, March 9, 2012.

We are very happy to announce new sponsors for this year's Math Bowl: The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and Team Eglin.  For the first time in the history of the Math Bowl science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) professionals from the local Air Force community will be on hand to welcome students and sponsors and to help with the ciphering competition.  This presents a unique opportunity for students to talk and interact with professionals from a wide variety of math-related careers.

Another change this year is the date of the competition.  We are holding the Math Bowl on the second Friday in March (3/9/12).  This not only facilitates conducting the competition but also gives us a chance to show off our new Raiders' sports arena.

In order to prepare better for this year's event, we are asking that registration forms be submitted earlier than in the past, where possible.  Each participating team member will receive a raffle ticket for a drawing for a Kindle and other prizes to be held at the end of the awards ceremony.  As an incentive, those teams registering by February 17 will have their team members each receive two raffle tickets.  Students must be present at the raffle to receive a prize.
