GSW Mathematics Tournament


Every year, from 1974 through 2006, the Department of Mathematics at Georgia Southwestern has hosted a tournament for high school students from throughout the state. This tournament has brought hundreds of students to the campus in the early spring each year to compete with one another. The longest running math tournament in Georgia, the annual GSW competition has served as a model for a host of imitators. Teachers from across the state would select a minimum of four and a maximum of eight outstanding mathematics students from each school to participate. (Extra students are welcome to participate and enjoy the tournament, but only the team-of-eight will contribute to the official score for the school's team.)

There was a one-year hiatus in our ability to offer this tournament to the students of Georgia, but we are back! The 2008 tournament was held on Saturday, March 8, 2008, and the date for the 2009 tournament will be announced in the fall.

An invitation letter will be sent to every high school in the state. That invitation letter and the registration form will be available here as well. Note that the online registration form allows for online entry of the information on the form. You will still have to print the completed form and send it to us with your check. We are working on a more automated system and may have it ready for the 2009 tournament. Stay tuned! Meanwhile, take a look at exams and results from recent years.
