The Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences University of Alberta Math Fair
Ted Lewis
Close to 700 elementary and junior high students from 25 schools visited the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS)/University of Alberta Math Fair on November 5, 2002. This all-day event, held in Dinwoodie Lounge in the U of A’s Students’ Union Building, was sponsored by PIMS and presented by Venera Hrimiuc and Ted Lewis’s Math 160 students. In the other half of the lounge, Andy Liu ran a problem-solving session. The students spent about two hours at the event, splitting their time between the math fair and the problem-solving session.
