The Mathematical Game, organized by the French Federation of Mathematical Games and Société de Calcul Mathématique SA, is now open. The topic for this year is “Checking an Industrial Process.”
The Mathematical Game started in 2008 and deals with finding the results of a real-life problem—a problem of general concern, but simplified in mathematical terms. The resolution typically requires several months of work.
Candidates may compete individually or in a group. The winner in each category will receive about $675 for first place, about $270 for second, and about $135 for third.
Prizes will be awarded in May during the “Salon des Jeux Mathématiques,” in Paris. The deadline to enter is April 30, 2014.
Participants should send their solution, in PDF format, in English or French, no later than April 30, 2014, to ffjm@wanadoo.fr. No preliminary registration is required. Everyone can participate.
