Hello HMMT 2020 February Contestants!

T he HMMT organizing team is delighted to have you join us here in Cam-bridge! We have all been committed to building this February’s competition

into an experience that we hope you will recall fondly for many years to come.

These couple of days every year are truly special for us, and we hope that youall will find the same statement holds for you. As we celebrate the wonderfuldiscipline of math by contest, do not forget that even more importantly, we gatherhere to showcase your mathematical achievement.

Those of you who are seasoned veterans of HMMT may recall that our previoustournament directors have equated the importance of the human element ofHMMT to that of math. This year, we take this statement further; the humanelement of HMMT is crucial to our competition. Take the time to speak to theother incredibly bright students around you, but more importantly, listen. Wehope that you will find remarkable in getting to know your exceptional peers.

To the coaches, parents, and chaperones: we have seen how much you care aboutgranting your students opportunities to pursue their interests, and we cannotexpress enough how appreciative we are for your support of the next generationof mathletes. Through the toils of registration, the anxiety of the lottery, and thelogistical taxes of organizing the trip here, your commitment shines.

As you navigate MIT’s campus, we hope you will find the map in this brochurehelpful. Please check your team’s room assignments carefully and notify anyHMMT member if you require any assistance. We understand that the campuscan be hard to navigate at first, and we’re here to help!

Once again, we are excited to have you join us for today’s tournament, and wewish you all the best in the competition!

Regards,
