Synopsis

The Competition Corner was conducted via the Problem Section of the former Mathematics Student journal of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics in 1978-1981. This book presents the problem sets of the Competition Corner along with multiple solutions by the contestants. Career highlights of over a hundred participants are featured along with numerous photographs.

Along with the problems and solutions of the program, the book also contains relevant information about the contest, the history of such year-round problem-solving competitions via correspondence, and the need for such a program in the USA and Canada.

For the United States to keep her position as a leader in technology, it will be necessary to pay proper attention to her greatest national treasure and develop the talents of her mathematically gifted youth to the fullest. The present book suggests a possible method to accomplish that.
