Check in to assigned classrooms at Warren Weaver Hall, the home of NYU's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. Its address is 251 Mercer Street, on the southwest corner of 4th Street and Mercer Street. Click for directions or a map. Because of construction around Warren Weaver Hall, you should enter on the west side of the building. |
| 10:00 am to 12:30 pm | Contest (in assigned classrooms above). |
| 10:15 am to 11:15 am Refreshments as of 9:15 am |
For parents and other non-contestants, a presentation by Richard Rusczyk (founder of the Art of Problem Solving) on resources and opportunities available to bright math students. His talk will be held at NYU's Kimmel Center, which is at 60 Washington Square South (map), at the intersection of Washington Square South (4th Street) and LaGuardia Place, a couple of blocks west of Warren Weaver Hall. Specifically, the talk will be held in the Eisner and Lubin Auditorium (Room 401). We expect to have coffee and muffins available by 9:15 am. Guests should bring a photo id. |
| 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm | Lunch (on your own) at nearby restaurants. Pick a random direction and you're sure to find an interesting restaurant. Just remember your way back! |

Awards Ceremony |
This year's ceremony will be held at the
Great Hall
in Cooper Union's Foundation Building.
The address is 7 East 7th Street, between Cooper Square and 3rd Avenue,
just southeast of Astor Place.
It is about a 7-minute walk from Warren Weaver Hall
(map).
Seating at the Great Hall will take place between 1:30 pm and 2 pm,
during which time the Trio Eos singers will perform some songs.
Between 1:25 pm and 1:45 pm outside Warren Weaver Hall,
Math Prize volunteers will walk with groups of students
and guests to the Great Hall,
for those who prefer not to walk on their own.
The ceremony will begin with some welcoming remarks, followed by a lecture on Spacetime Geometry by Janna Levin, Professor of Physics at Columbia University. Following the lecture, there will be an exciting oral tiebreaker round on stage for the top ten participants. We will then present trophies to (approximately) the top 30 students and checks to the top ten.
