PULLMAN, Wash. — More than 30 Washington and northern Idaho schools will participate
in the ninth annual Math Day competition Oct. 21 on the Washington State University campus.
Four $2,000 WSU scholarships will be awarded to the winners of the competition.
Co-chair Carolyn Smith said more than 400 students will participate in one or more of the
competitions. All students will take the PROBE, a comprehensive exam, at 9:40 a.m. in the

rooms scattered throughout the CUB, 32 small school teams will meet in a double elimination

trophies and individual awards will be given to the top three teams in both categories.

northern Idaho to demonstrate their mathematical talent and knowledge,” said Duane DeTemple,
