The Cen​tral Wisconsin Mathematics League​

History

The Central Wisconsin Math League was started in 1970 as a joint venture of 22 area high schools, Sentry Insurance, Wausau Insurance, and The University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point. The initial idea of the CWML was developed from talks between Howard Thoyre and Charles Johnson of the UW-Stevens Point Department of Mathematics, John Regnier of Sentry Insurance, and Cal Chamberlain and Cal Hessart of Wausau Insurance during the fall of 1970. The first committee of faculty members from UWSP which organized the CWML included Howard Thoyre, Richard Schoenecker and Wayne Wild.

Why Join Math League?

  • Creates a greater interest in mathematics for high school students
  • Exposes students to some of the great careers relating to mathematics, particularily in the insurance field

  • Students can compete for the Howard Thoyre Freshman Scholarship, given to a top student who plans to attend UW-Stevens Point for mathematics-related study.

League Details

Three meets are held each academic year in November, February and April, with an awards banquet in April to honor the top schools and individual winners. Roughly fifty area high schools take part. Teams of 12 compete in geometry, algebra and advanced problems.
