2011 Undergraduate Mathematics Competition

The eleventh annual University of Toronto Undergraduate Mathematics Competition was written on Sunday, March 6,2011. There were twenty-six candidates writing on all three campuses.

We would like to thank Nick Cheng for organizing the Scarborough site and John Inciura for organizing the Mississauga site.

The top two papers were very close; after checking by Ed Barbeau, Felix Recio, Ilia Binder and Franklin Vera Pachebo, it was decided to award a tie for first place.

The paper and solutions can be seen at www.math.utoronto.ca/barbeau/torcontest11.pdf
