The expenses of this competition are covered by a fee of $15 per team.  Teams of up to three undergraduate students work collaboratively at their home campuses on the ten problems, under the supervision of  local faculty members.  The contest is intended to reach a somewhat wider pool of students than the Putnam.

Problems and solutions from the 2007 NCS Team Competition are available through the links below.  A listing of the top tier of teams and their scores will be posted here soon.

The eleventh annual NCS Team Contest is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, November 15, 2008.  An announcement and invitation to participate will be sent by email in September to at least one member of the Mathematics Department of each college and university in the Section.
