Welcome to the U of M Math Bee (UMMB)!
For results from past years, see the Past Competitions page. Questions from past UMMB events can be found on the Practice page.
What is the UMMB?
The UMMB is a math competition for first and second-year students with fun and creative problems to challenge their skills in Calculus 1, 2, Linear Algebra, and Discrete Math. Assemble your team of up to 3 people and compete for U of M Math fame and glory (and prizes)!
Where and when?
Please stay tuned for next year's competition!
How can I participate?
Please fill out this google form.
How is it played?
The U of M math grad students will ask a series of questions ranging in difficulty (easy, intermediate, advanced). You get 1 point for easy, 2 points for intermediate, and 3 points for difficult. It's not a race to who gets the question first. If you solve it within the time limit, you earn those points fair and square! We will tally up the scores as we go to declare a team as the Ultimate UMMB Victors.
I don't have a team =(
No problem! Select the "I don't have a team" option in our form to team up with other folks also looking for a team.
Unsure of yourself?
Don't sweat it! It's all about having fun and hanging out with your teammates. Even if you haven't covered the material from all the courses, we encourage you to try anyway. You may surprise yourself! You can also create a team accordingly that covers as much knowledge as possible from the courses listed above.
I don't want to compete, can I just watch?
Spectators are encouraged! Bring yourself a friend and a flag for your team!
