Momentum Learning Team won Harvard MIT Mathematics Tournament (HMMT) Sweepstakes!

[show_more more=”Read More” less=”Show Less”]

The Harvard-MIT Mathematics Tournament (HMMT) is a premier high school math competition organized by students at Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) each winter. It has been running since 1998. The contest takes place alternatively at Harvard or MIT each year. It is composed of two tournaments, the February Tournament and the November Tournament. The February Tournament is the more difficult of the two tournaments, with its problems ranging from mid-AIME to national and international Olympiad level questions.

This is the second year the Momentum Learning team has participated at February HMMT. On Feb 15th, hundreds of the best mathletes competed at MIT. The Momentum Learning team not only won all team categories (GUTS Round #1, Team Round #1, Mathlete Aggregate #1, and Over Sweepstakes #1) but also all individual categories (by Luke R.). It is probably the first time in HMMT history that ONE team won all categories.

Congratulations to the students (Alan C., Alex Y., Andrew C., Eric G., Ethan Z., Justin Y. Luke R., and Max J.) and teachers (Mrs. Nal and Dr. Nal) who have coached the students over the years! Also a special congratulations to all 12th graders (Eric, Ethan, Justin, and Max) on the team as they all have been accepted by MIT in early admission!

The Department of Energy (DOE) created the National Science Bowl in 1991 to encourage students to excel in mathematics and science and to pursue careers in these fields. Approximately 265,000 students have participated in the National Science Bowl® throughout its 26-year history, and it is one of the nation’s largest science competitions.

Beginning in January 2016, more than 9,000 high school students and 4,500 middle school students will compete in 70 high school and 50 middle school regional Science Bowl tournaments. The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science manages the National Science Bowl®, and sponsors the NSB finals competition. The Department of Energy’s Office of Science is the single largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences in the United States, and is working to address some of the most pressing challenges of our time.

The championship team from each region will advance to the national.[/show_more]
