Five students claimed the title of the best problem-solvers in the fall semester’s math competition.

Since 2008, KAIST’s Mathematical Sciences Department (MSD) has hosted on its website a Problem of the Week during the fall and spring semesters of each year. Any undergraduate students who have a passion for all things mathematical can participate in finding the solutions of the problem.

On December 13, 2017, the MSD announced the winners of the Problem of the Week (POW) Award for the 2017 Fall Semester. A total of top five students received the award.
