Pascal, Cayley, and Fermat Mathematics Contests

 

Dear parents/guardians,

 

Our school is participating in Math contests. Students who have a strong interest and foundation in mathematics are encouraged to participate in the contests.

 

This is an opportunity for students to stretch their thinking and improve their mathematical skills. Additionally, admission/ scholarships to certain universities sometimes consider student's participation in such contests.
