During Term 4 students from the Newman Year 7, 8 and 9 classes were invited to be involved in the Euler Mathematics Challenge.  This involved the students solving a set of challenging problems over several weeks with the guidance of their teachers.

These students were outstanding in their efforts and are to be commended for the solutions they presented.

Examples of one the types of challenge questions include:

*Arrange the numbers from 1 to 15 so that any adjacent pair of numbers sum to a perfect square;

*Find all positive integers less than 50,000 that have precisely eleven divisors;

*Can the sum of the first n consecutive positive integers be equal to the square of a prime number?

Congratulations on attempting the Challenge to the following students:

Year 7	Cecilia Le, Tracie Duong, Larissa Fernandes
Year 8	Merna Matti, Marya Nafea. Jenny Leave, Jessica Hoang
Year 9	Dzung Sarah Pham, Catherine Ang, Maria Al-Faris, Kiana Cherie
