The 46th Annual MMPC is underway. My name is David Redman (Delta C) and I am the director of the 46th, 47th and 48th MMPC. All information related to the MMPC has been posted at the MMPC web site: http://www.delta.edu/math/mmpc.
Many thanks to the previous director Robert Messer (Albion C) who continues to provide his expert assistance during the transition.
Part I took place on Wednesday, October 9. Results have been tabulated and invitations will be extended to approximately 1,000 students to participate in Part II on Wednesday, December 4.
The exam committee of Bill Sledd, chair (MSU), Edward Aboufadel (GVSU), Eddie Cheng (OU) and John Clifford (UM-Dearborn) has worked very hard to prepare Part I and Part II.
Grading Day is Saturday, January 11, 2003 at the Delta C Planetarium in Bay City. Teams of 10 to 12 people will work on each of the five problems of Part II. This is our tentative schedule:
8:30 a.m.–8:55 a.m. Welcome and Refreshments 9:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. Grading (Executive Committee Meeting) 12:30 p.m–1:30 p.m. Lunch Discuss this event in your department and come as a group to enjoy this important and fun project of the Michigan Section of the MAA. Send the names of those who are able to attend Grading Day to the director (bdredman@alpha.delta.edu) and watch the MMPC web site for more information.
I am also pleased to announce that one of the speakers on Awards Day (March 8, 2003) will be Robert Devanney (Boston C). Awards Day presentations will be held on the campus of Delta College and the banquet will be held at the nearby Bay Valley Resort. All of these facilities are located in the tri-city area of Saginaw, Bay City, and Midland near I-75 and US-10.
