# Morgan Ward Prize Winners

The Morgan Ward Prize was established by the Department of Mathematics in 1963 to honor the memory of Professor Morgan Ward in recognition of his long service to mathematics and to the Institute.  The competition is open to all freshmen and sophomores, regardless of major.  An entry consists of a mathematical problem together with a solution or a significant contribution toward a solution. An entry may be individual (submitted by one student) or joint (submitted by a group of two or more students). Each student is entitled to at most three entries, of which two may be individual. The problem may have any source, but this source should be stated in the entry. The entries may be judged on the basis of the nature of the problem, originality and elegance of the solution. Any outside references used should be indicated.

Abstracts/questions and/or solutions, where available, are linked to the winner's name.
