Cumberland College 
High School Mathematics Contest
1998 pictures

The mathematics contest is held during the spring of each year; the 1998 contest was held on May 1. High school students competed individually in five categories: Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, Advanced Mathematics, and Calculus. A team from each school competed in a group competition as well.

As the scores were tallied, the students and teachers were treated to a physics demonstration and friendly fact hunt.
