Blaise Pascal High School Mathematics Competition
Every year the Bethel College Mathematics Department holds the Blaise Pascal High School Mathematics Competition. This competition is one of only two competitions offered by institutions of higher learning for Michiana area high school students. The competition combines standard mathematics contest problems with several history of mathematics questions. Each school may bring up to 20 students to the competition. Home school students are encouraged to register individually or as a group. Individual and team awards will be given (see Competition Rules), some of which include substantial scholarship money. In addition, the college will conduct several random drawings among registered students for prizes, including iTunes gift cards.
