Issue 3, Vol XVII
April 2007
Now that all the dust has settled...
and ties are accounted for, a total of fifty individuals and ten teams
have been declared Mandelbrot winners. They are listed below, following
this memo. As advertised in the welcome letter, we will be mailing snazzy
decks of Mandelbrot playing cards (not available in stores!) for all of
the individual winners; these should arrive during the final week of April.
We are also preparing plaques for the top teams, we anticipate that these
will arrive by the second week of May. Congratulations to everyone appearing
in the final standings. And we are enormously grateful to all of the coaches
who took the time to involve students in the Mandelbrot Competition. Thanks
for a great year!
There are a few small items to
mention...
that will probably only apply to a couple of coaches. First, we encountered
two papers without codes this past weekend: a regional part one and a
regional part three. If you believe that one of these papers was written
by your students, please contact us so that we can enter scores for them.
We also allowed an answer of 61/421 to the probability question on the
round four individual test. (A student kept track of time in minutes and
included both the 10:00 and 11:00 minute in their tally.) Please check
with us if you believe that any of your students deserve credit for this
question.
Mandelbrot is moving!
And hopefully for the last time. Beginning this fall, Mandelbrot will
be based out of St. Lawrence University in Canton, NY since I recently
joined their faculty as a member of the math department. Other than resulting
in a new address for mailing team test papers I trust that the relocation
will have very little impact on the day to day operations of Mandelbrot.
Best wishes for the remainder of the school year, and have a relaxing and rewarding summer vacation.
Sincerely,
Sam Vandervelde
Competition Coordinator
