Wolfson Math Club Places Third At State Competition

The Wolfson Campus Mathematics Club placed third in the team category at the Florida State Math Olympics held on April 15 at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville.

Noel Membreno, a mechanical engineering major who graduated from Miami Dade College this spring, also placed third on the individual category.  

“Winning third place in the team portion of the Olympics was such an immense accomplishment…” said Alvio Dominguez, the adviser for the club. “It is one of those feelings almost impossible to explain, but extremely rewarding. One of those experiences that will stay forever.”

There are three events in the competition: a 40-question multiple choice examination and two 10-question free response examinations, one with calculators allowed and one without calculators.
