2024 UNL Math Day Results
Math Day 2024
Sixty-eight Nebraska high schools and more than 500 students participated in the 34th annual Nebraska Math Day on Tuesday, February 20, 2024 (there was not a Math Day in calendar year 2023 since the event moved from the fall semester to the spring). Math Day 2024 included new challenges and activities designed to spark high school students’ interest in math, to encourage them to pursue a career in mathematics or the mathematical sciences, and to recognize outstanding mathematical ability.
This all-day event consisted of the PROBE 2 individual competition, the fast-paced Math Bowl Swiss-system team competition, and interactive challenges and activities such as the first-ever Math Day Escape Room. More than 800 students took the PROBE I exam concurrently at their respective school classrooms in late January. The PROBE 2 exam took place on February 20, and 58 students came to UNL to participate.
