Dear Math coordinators,

I write, sadly, to announce the cancellation of OSU's 2021 Math Day, which had been scheduled for October 5. Given the continuing progress of the pandemic, we cannot justify the risk of bringing students to our campus. We will try again next fall, when I hope to see many of your students, safely, in Stillwater.

In the meantime, if there is sufficient interest, we might try serializing this year's competition. We would send you five problems every six weeks or so, with the idea that you could administer them to interested students during lunch or at some other convenient time. Then we would collate results and announce winners late in the spring semester. If this sounds like something you'd like to do, please write to us at hsc@math.okstate.edu.

Best,

Jeff Mermin
