Each school year, the Talent Search creates five sets of five problems each and distributes them to high school and middle school students in the state of Wisconsin and throughout the world. These problems are unusual, challenging, and we hope, enjoyable. They are not easy, but their solutions do not require advanced mathematical knowledge–just hard work and creativity. Students can work on the problems at their own pace and send in their solutions to be graded. Top participants are invited to Madison for an Honors Day in the spring and to participate in an exam for the Van Vleck scholarship to UW-Madison.
This is our 2023 winner of the Van Vleck Scholarship, Sammy Ross. To find out more about what Sammy won, learn more about the Van Vleck Scholarship.
The schedule for the 2023-2024 Wisconsin Math Talent Search is now posted!
The first problem set will be posted on October 10, 2023.
