S. Math Contest Posted by [Andy Cunningham](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/author/andy-cunningham) on April 5, 2024 at 6:37 PM ![](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hubfs/Avatar2.jpg) - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) This morning, Fitchburg State University [Mathematics Department](https://www.fitchburgstate.edu/academics/academic-schools/school-health-and-natural-sciences/mathematics-department)  hosted its 43rd Elizabeth Haskins Mathematics Contest, welcoming 170 students from nine regional high schools. The annual event is named  for Elizabeth Haskins, a Fitchburg State mathematics professor who retired in 1978 and passed away in 2004. The contest is a 90-minute fifty question multiple choice test that only needs high-school level mathematics generally using algebra, geometry, probability and other general mathematics skills to solve.  Sophomores, juniors and seniors from high schools around the region are invited to attended.  The students also enjoyed lunch on campus, an award session hosted by [Mathematics](https://www.fitchburgstate.edu/academics/academic-schools/school-health-and-natural-sciences/mathematics-department) Professors [Gerald Higdon,](https://www.fitchburgstate.edu/academics/faculty-profiles/gerald-higdon) and [Peter Staab](https://www.fitchburgstate.edu/academics/faculty-profiles/peter-staab) followed by a solution session in which [Dr. Jessie Oehrlein](https://www.fitchburgstate.edu/academics/faculty-profiles/jessie-oehrlein) showed in-depth solutions to about 10 of the contest problems.    ![Image_006-Apr-05-2024-07-43-14-1003-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_006-Apr-05-2024-07-43-14-1003-PM.jpg?width=1217&height=933&name=Image_006-Apr-05-2024-07-43-14-1003-PM.jpg) ![Image_001-Apr-05-2024-07-43-13-9653-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_001-Apr-05-2024-07-43-13-9653-PM.jpg?width=1248&height=584&name=Image_001-Apr-05-2024-07-43-13-9653-PM.jpg) ![Image_005-Apr-05-2024-07-43-14-2754-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_005-Apr-05-2024-07-43-14-2754-PM.jpg?width=889&height=904&name=Image_005-Apr-05-2024-07-43-14-2754-PM.jpg) ![Image_007-Apr-05-2024-07-43-13-9547-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_007-Apr-05-2024-07-43-13-9547-PM.jpg?width=1067&height=661&name=Image_007-Apr-05-2024-07-43-13-9547-PM.jpg) 10th grade: 1st    Brian Jiang Leominster High School, 2nd   Milo Knight Leominster School of Excellence, 3rd (tie) Naomi Durost  Auburn & Lizzie Matheson Quabbin Regional ![Image_008-Apr-05-2024-07-43-14-2306-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_008-Apr-05-2024-07-43-14-2306-PM.jpg?width=1181&height=799&name=Image_008-Apr-05-2024-07-43-14-2306-PM.jpg)11th grade: 1st Wren Horne Auburn, 2nd   Carson Wilbur  Leominster High School, 3rd   SummerYoung Quabbin Regional ![Image_009-Apr-05-2024-07-43-13-9559-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_009-Apr-05-2024-07-43-13-9559-PM.jpg?width=1301&height=816&name=Image_009-Apr-05-2024-07-43-13-9559-PM.jpg)12th grade: 1st Caleb Hatlevig  Parker Charter, 2nd  Jacob Goldovitz  Auburn, 3rd  Pietro Binetti  Leominster High School ![Group_002B](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Group_002B.jpg?width=646&height=512&name=Group_002B.jpg)   Topics: [Mathematics](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/topic/mathematics) ### Recent Posts ### Posts by Topic A-Z -
