Mathematics Problem Solving Competition Fall 2025

The Mathematics Department is pleased to once again facilitate the Problem Solving Competition.

Participation is open to all Saint Francis University students. Each month we will post a problem and deadline on the Problem Solving Board in Science Center (between ground floor room 12 and 13). Students may stop by to pick up a copy of the problem. Upon completion, students should deposit their solution with accompanying work in the drop-off box (Please include name and e-mail on solution). Students may work individually or with others to solve the problem. Each month, the mathematics faculty randomly draws a name from the correct submissions for a $25 prize. Students working together to solve the problem may split the prize.

There will be three problems during the Fall Semester. The posting/deadline schedule is as follows:
Problem #1: Now posted and due Friday September 26, 2025 @ noon
Problem #2: Will be posted on Friday September 26, 2025 @ noon and due Friday October 24, 2025 @ noon;

Problem #3: Will be posted on Friday October 24, 2025 @ noon and due Friday November 21, 2025 @ noon;

Good Luck!

Sincerely,

Department of Mathematics
