Fwd: HMMT Education Day
Samuel Coskey
Our friends over at HMMT have asked us to pass along this message from them about a great opportunity open to all high school students!
Hello!
As you may already know, the Harvard-MIT Math Tournament (HMMT) is a math competition for high school students, similar to CMIMC. In addition to the contest, HMMT also hosts a Sunday Education event the day after, which is designed to give students a glimpse into math beyond high school.
For the first time ever, our virtual Sunday Education event is open to all high school students who wish to attend, rather than just competitors. The event will consist of three hour-long blocks, and in each block, there will be four talks to choose from (all talks will be given via Zoom). The talks will be conducted like a class, so participants will be able to participate, interact, and ask questions. Attendance is entirely free, and the talks are given by Harvard and MIT professors and graduate students. In the past, the talks have included the probabilistic method, health care reform, and Wagner’s theorem. The topics vary significantly and cater to students across a variety of mathematical backgrounds. You can find a full archive of past topics here.
This year’s HMMT Education event will occur on Sunday, February 20th. All students interested in attending one of our education events should fill out our interest form, and for those not competing in HMMT, create an account on our website hmmt.org by clicking register in the top right corner and filling out your information as a student competitor. After you’ve made your account, fill out the waiver now available on the site. Please complete this by February 12th. The schedule and blurbs of the talks will soon be posted on our website so be sure to keep an eye out for them! They will also be emailed to those who signed up, along with detailed instructions for how to join the zoom talks.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at req...@hmmt.org. If you are a high schooler, we would love to have you join us! If you are a coach or teacher, we would love if you could share with your students or any other groups that you think would be interested and help us spread the word!
