"Math Games" is Wellesley's in-house math competition where each Fall teams of students solve fun and challenging problems in a quest for glory, chocolate, and other prizes.
Sample Question: How many different ways can you complete the square below so that each color appears exactly once in each row and in each column? (You do not have to list all the different ways -- just say how many there are. )
Math Games will be directed this year by Professors Kerr, Tannenhauser and Trenk.
