Stanford Mathematics Tournament

Stanford Math Tournament 2008

Thanks to everyone who participated in SMT 2008! Results are now available. Team scores and ranks will be sent to your team sponsor soon. We will also be posting questions and solutions online, so keep checking back this week.

UPDATE: Results emails have been sent out. Statistics and score distributions are posted below, as well as the questions and solutions. I don't have contact information for the following schools: Harker, Branson, Homestead, Lynbrook, and Gunn. If you are on one of those teams and want the scores, or if you're a sponsor and haven't received your scores, email silasj at stanford dott edu.

We want your feedback!
SUMO values highly your feedback and constructive criticism. We hope to use your suggestions to make next year's tournament better and run more smoothly. Please feel free to email Silas Johnson to voice your thoughts via the web.
An opportunity for participants
The solutions to the tests are mostly correct, but by no means perfect. If a contest participant finds an undiscovered error or a significantly more elegant solution, we would be happy to make the appropriate changes and publish the results, with acknowledgement, on this website. Please email submissions to Silas Johnson.

Previous tournaments

The Fourth Annual Stanford Math Tournament was held on Saturday, February 23, 2002, in collaboration with the Rice Math Tournament. Nearly 240 students came together for a day of math, meeting other people, and fun! Dr. Helen Moore of the Stanford Mathematics Department also gave a talk. The tests and soltuions from this contest are now available in PDF format; follow the links below. In addition, the top results from each test have been posted. If you are a sponsor and would like a spreadsheet with the full results, which is available now, please email Jonathan Claridge.

Sample Questions:

Tests and solutions
Problems and complete solutions to the General (solutions), Algebra, (solutions), Advanced Topics, (solutions), Geometry, (solutions), Calculus, (solutions), and Team (solutions) Tests.

Here is a set of sample problems in PDF format. There is also a set of sample problems from Rice.

Finally, here are some problems from past contests:

Past Contests

The first Stanford Math Tournament was held on Saturday, February 27, 1999 in conjunction with the Harvard-MIT Math Tournament. Organizing the tournament also led to the creation of the Stanford University Mathematical Organization, which is now in charge of the tournament as well as many other mathematical events. The 2000 tournament was also held with the Rice Math Tournament. The format of the contest is based on the Rice Math Tournament, which has been running since 1981.
