Minisymposium (ID: SS-ARRMMC)

Applications Related to Recreational Math, Math Contests, and Challenges in STEM Disciplines

Thomas Wolf (Brock University)

With annually about 500 mathematics contests and challenges worldwide there 
are mathematical problems resulting from creating and running such contests. 
This session invites talks by researchers, contest creators, students and 
contest participants about mathematical problems that resulted from or that 
are linked to recreational mathematics, mathematics contests or mathematics 
examinations, and similar problems in all STEM disciplines.
Examples include, but are not limited to:

• Mathematical research arising from open end contest challenges
• Statistical models detecting unfair contest participation
• Mathematical algorithms or techniques that create math puzzles by computer
• New combinatorial games suitable for recreational math and interesting for research
• Mathematical models for problems’ complexity
