New Brunswick Math League
The third annual New Brunswick Math League is an all-day high school mathematics competition hosted by the UNB Math Society at the University of New Brunswick. On April 5th, students from high schools across the province will participate, in groups of 4, in three rounds of competition: the pairs relay, the individual relay, and the team event. Teams can either enter in the junior or senior category based on their age group, however the contest papers are identical for both.…
