The American Regions Mathematics League (ARML) Competition took place on June 5, 2004 on the campuses of the University of Iowa, Pennsylvania State University, and the University of California at Santa Cruz. A total of 88 teams of 15 students each represented various regions of the United States and Canada. While an unfortunate coincidence of events prevented the coaches of the Michigan All-Stars from organizing teams, luckily the Indus Center for Academic Excellence (ICAE) stepped in and entered a team. Spearheaded by Raghunath P. Khetan (Delphi and ICAE), with Ada C. Dong (LTU and ICAE), Bing Xu, and Bo Han, a team of MMPC veterans and top 100 winners traveled to Iowa City. The team placed ninth overall in Division B, and third onsite at Iowa. The All-Stars will be back in 2005. We are grateful to the ICAE for giving the students a chance to compete in one of their favorite contests.

Three Michigan college students were honored by the Section for their outstanding performances on the 2003 William Lowell Putnam Examination. They were Vivek V. Shende, UM-Ann Arbor senior from Beverly Hills (with rank in 106.5–201), Fernando A. Delgado, UM-Ann Arbor sophomore and Daniel E. Steffy, Oakland U senior from Royal Oak (both with rank in 212–498.5).
