BLUFFTON, Ohio—Bluffton University’s mathematics department will host its 11th annual math competition for high school students on Saturday, Nov. 3, in Stutzman Lecture Hall in Centennial Hall. The event is free.
The test, which begins at 9:45 a.m., includes only short-answer questions covering high school math topics through precalculus.

Teachers need not accompany students, but activities will be available for teachers, as well as parents, during the test. Visitors may then attend a math presentation at 11 a.m., followed by a free lunch at 11:45 a.m. and a campus tour after lunch.
