Monday Math Madness #7
27 May 2008 Daniel Sutoyo 3 comments 695 views
Hope everyone had a good long weekend. We have a brand new contest rolling over at Sol’s blog wildaboutmath.com! His love for infinite series is found in this edition of Monday Math Madness. Sol claims it’s challenging but not brutally difficult, so give it a try. He won’t reveal the source until the contest ends because the answer is posted with the problem.
Thanks to the sponsors for this contest, he has one $25 gift certificate left for the Art of Problem Solving. He also has a couple of Rubik’s Revolutions, courtesy of Techno Source. Depending on how many correct solutions he gets he may give away two prizes!
Wanted Feedback!
Sol, Quan, and I have been enjoying hosting these contests. We love to hear suggestions and comments to make these more entertaining. So let us know if you have something to share.
Our older MATLAB tutorials are consistently being searched on google, and it is a great encouragement to hear people finding them useful. Recently we have our guest blogger Rob Slazas who posted his Intro to Statistics in MATLAB. Please take a look if you haven’t and post any requests you may have!

Include MATLAB code in your comment by doing the following:
<pre lang="MATLAB">
%insert code here

I wouldn’t change much. I wouldn’t mind if they were a tad more difficult on average, but they’re great as they are.
The contest can get more tough.
Since,MATLAB will be at our disposal,we can work on more tricky problems.
Great work though!!
Cheers!
Hey guys,
I really like that we can submit MATLAB scripts as answers. That said, I agree with Srinivas that they could be more challenging. *Maybe* even some engineering problems would be nice. I guess you have to balance what your readership in total is willing to solve.
Overall, it’s not easy running a periodic, technical contest like this. Much appreciated!
Best,
Rob
