On Saturday, November 12, 12 Gustavus students
(Peter Overholser, Noah Mirovsky, Eric Overstad, Jonathan Dexter, Anna Lindquist, Jared Walz, Michael Bologna, Eric Barnitt, Dan Johnson, Mitch Engel, Guy Davis and Eva Cornell) competed in teams of three in the ninth annual MAA North Central Section Team Contest. Both MCS and Physics majors were well represented on our teams this year. Last year 66 teams from 26 universities and colleges participated. Teams in the North Central Section are from Minnesota, North Dakata, Eastern South Dakota, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and that portion of Ontario consisting of Thunder Bay and west. Full results, problems, and solutions should eventually be available on the Section website. Before and after shots of the teams can be found here.
