# Math, computing, and science contests

## Math and computing competitions

### Euclid Mathematics Contest (written in April)

We strongly encourage you to participate in the Euclid Mathematics Contest and/or the Canadian Senior Mathematics Contest if you’re applying to a program in the Faculty of Mathematics. The contest will help develop your problem-solving skills and prepare you for university studies. While it is not an admission requirement, you must write the Euclid and/or the Canadian Senior Mathematics Contest to be considered for entrance scholarships in the Faculty of Mathematics.

### Canadian Senior Mathematics Contest (written in November)

If you’re applying to a program in the Faculty of Mathematics, we strongly encourage you to participate in either the Canadian Senior Mathematics Contest (CSMC) and/or the Euclid to enhance your admissions status. While it is not an admission requirement, you must write the CSMC and/or the Euclid to be considered for entrance scholarships in the Faculty of Mathematics.

### Canadian Computing Competition (written in February)

The Canadian Computing Competition provides Canadian high school students with an opportunity to test their ability in designing, understanding, and implementing algorithms. While it is not an admission requirement, we encourage you to participate if you’re interested in programming and problem-solving, and especially if you’ve applied to Computer Science or to Computing and Financial Management.
