"This is a wonderful spin on a math team: students working together to create a math event for the younger generation. Whenever this happens, the tournament is run with a caring heart, because the organizing students still remember what it is like to be just a few years younger. If you're a participant, take this competition as a challenge to surprise yourself by stretching to solve more than you thought you could. Competitions (whether in math or otherwise) are great opportunities to press yourself to the limit, and then discover that you have accidentally surpassed what you thought was your limit!"          - Prof. Po-Shen Loh

Prof. Po-Shen Loh is a renowned math professor at Carnegie Mellon University and the national coach for the U.S. Math Olympiad team who led the team to win world's championships several times recently.
