SALISBURY, MD---Mathematics takes center stage at Salisbury University Wednesday, November 12, when area high school students test their skills in the 20th annual High School Mathematics Competition.

Some 69 students from 23 schools in Delaware, Maryland and Virginia demonstrate their math expertise on an individual and team basis.

“We are, as always, deeply grateful to Conectiv and SunTrust, whose ongoing, generous sponsorship makes this event possible," said Kurt Ludwick, chair of this year’s competition.

Conectiv Power Delivery, SunTrust Bank and SU’s Department of Mathematics and Computer Science cosponsor the event. U.S. Savings Bonds and special math-related books are awarded to the top three students in the individual portion of the competition, as well as to students on the three best teams.

Each participating student receives a certificate and commemorative T-shirt.

"We are pleased and excited to host the Eastern Shore High School Mathematics Competition once again,” said Ludwick. “Since 1984, it has been our privilege to bring together high school students and teachers from throughout the region for this unique celebration of mathematics.”
