The Mathematics and Computer Science Department at Macalester College has hosted a problem of the week for students since 1968.
Professor Stan Wagon has continued this tradition since 1993. The problems, which are aimed at first-year college students, have appeared online since the fall of 1995, and new ones appear each week of the academic year.
Any visitor to the web site-regardless of whether or not they subscribe to the list-may access solutions of POWs posted in the current academic semester during that time period.
POW is an integral part of The Math Forum of Drexel School of Education, which also includes additional resources such as ask Dr. Math and math tools, which make this teaching and learning resource a valuable resource for all of us as we either learn math or seek to enhance our math skills, at any level of education where math is being taught.
