Broward Community College's Math Team has won both team and individual competitions at the state level. The team competes at the annual Florida state Math Olympics, held each year near the beginning of April. Team members travel to Jacksonville to participate in the event, which is located at the University of North Florida. There are two parts to the event, a team portion and an individual portion. Winners take home trophies and cash prizes and may also receive a BCC scholarship. After a period of inactivity a few years ago, the Math Team has returned with a vengeance, earning first place team victories and second place individual victories in both 2004 and 2005. We urge you to visit the Student Hall of Fame, where Math Team students and winners are featured. You may also check out the new Honors Photo Album to see competition pictures.

The Honors Institute offers scholarships to competing team members. Victories also look great on a resume and may help students earn transfer scholarships.

The team members are chosen based on a math test administered by the Honors Institute in the fall and spring terms. Teams usually meet with the coaches on a weekly basis to practice. A math level of Calculus II is recommended. Membership on the Math Team gives students another way to excel at Broward Community College and is a highly enjoyable experience. Interested students should contact Coach Sanford Geraci (954-201-6634, sgeraci@broward.edu) for more information.
