The SIAM 100-Dollar, 100-Digit Challenge
Teamed with my friend Kim McInturff of Raytheon
Company, Goleta, CA, I recently competed in the SIAM (Society for Industrial and
Applied Mathematics) 100-Dollar, 100-Digit Challenge.
The challenge consisted of ten numerical problems posted in
the January/February 2002 issue of
SIAM News
and later publicized in Science and elswhere. The answer to each
problem was a single real number. Contestants could earn up to
ten points for ten correct digits on each problem, a maximum of
100 points total. My team finished tied in first place with 19 other
teams from around the world by getting all
100 digits correct.
