COMAP

COMAP is a yearly team undergraduate competition held each spring (usually early February). There is no limit to the number of teams that Wake can sponsor. Each team can be composed of up to three students; the teams are formed at an organizational meeting in January. There is no prerequisite for the contest; you don’t even have to be a math major!

Those who are interested in participating in this competition should contact the local faculty sponsor for more information and then, sign up for Math 165 in the spring. In order to prepare for this contest, students will meet in the spring to go over previous contest questions and solutions until the contest weekend in February. The contest problems are posted on the web a Thursday evening and a solution paper is due (via email to COMAP) the following Monday evening.

Please consider participating on Wake’s COMAP team! Wake needs you!!
