The Twelfth Annual High School Mathematics Contest at the University of South Carolina is scheduled for Saturday, December 6, 1997. All South Carolina high schools are cordially invited to participate. Our goal is to stimulate interest in mathematics among secondary students and to recognize those who exhibit exceptional talent. At the conclusion of the contest, prizes will be awarded to outstanding individual participants and to winning teams. Prizes include a four-year full tuition scholarship, and a four-year half-tuition scholarship to attend USC.
