Dear Math Club leaders or mathematics teachers,

        The Johns Hopkins Math Club cordially invites your school to participate in the 2nd Annual Johns Hopkins Math Tournament. This year’s tournament will be held on Saturday April 1, 2000 (no fooling!) on the Johns Hopkins University campus in Baltimore. The Johns Hopkins Math Tournament is for high school students throughout Maryland and beyond. It is completely student-run by volunteers who write the questions, administrate the tournament, grade the tests, and present the results.
        There are five individual tests in the areas of Algebra II, Geometry, Pre-Calculus/Trigonometry, Calculus, and Advanced Math. For the first four above-mentioned subject tests, the student must be enrolled in the course at his/her high school in order to take the test. The Advanced Math test is geared towards students who have already completed Geometry, Algebra II, Pre-Calculus/Trigonometry, and Calculus. Besides the individual tests, there will be a relay competition involving all of the students from the participating high schools. Finally, an Intra-School Team test, which will cover a large variety of questions, will allow all students from the same high school to work together on the same test. Thus, each school will have one Intra-School team, which is composed of all the students in attendance from that school.
        This year, Chirag Patel is the tournament director. If you have any questions, you can contact him by e-mail at chirag@jhu.edu or by phone at (410) 516-2433. You can also find out more information at our tournament page: http://www.math.jhu.edu/~mathclub/2000tourney.html
        If your school is interested in participating in the tournament, please return the slip at the bottom of the page to the address below by January 21, 2000 in order to receive additional information and a registration form. If you do not respond by this date, we will assume that you are not interested. We appreciate your time and interest and hope that we can provide the best tournament possible for you and your students!
