This page shows WPS Problem Corner problems, select user-submitted solutions, and a running count of who submitted solutions.
We'll figure out a way to come up with an annual winner based on number of correct solutions
submitted and how quickly they are received. The scoring system still needs some refining but in order to count you
must submit your computations, not just the answer. At the least you should explain the logic you used
to arrive at your solution.
Although many of these problems are more easily solved using computers,
we prefer demonstration of mental rather than software dexterity. Software can be used for checks or repetitious calculations
(eg, spreadsheet for iterative solutions) but the main calculations should be manual. And we'll consider bonus points
for math checks.
You can either scan your solution and email it to me at gmahun@matcmadison.edu
or jmahun@yahoo.com or snail-mail to me at MATC, 3550 Anderson Street, Madison, WI 53704.
