Stuyvesant Math Team

The Stuyvesant Math Team is one of the best math teams in the city and nation, and one of the most prolific teams at Stuyvesant. By teaching students about exciting problem-solving techniques and exposing them to a wide variety of math problems, we strive to help students build mathematical intuition and foster a community of people who enjoy math and problem-solving. Additionally, Math Team gives students the opportunity to participate in math competitions to practice their skills. Members are expected to attend Math Team class first period and are strongly encouraged to attend the after school practices, which helps them build connections with each other and introduces them to competitive mathematics. We also host the DMI (Downtown Mathematics Invitational) competition and GEMS (Girls Empowered in Mathematics at Stuyvesant), both of which are completely student-run. Teams from all across New York City come to Stuyvesant to participate, providing an experience for our students to both take competitions and host them.
