A Mathethon is a computational mathematics competition that is primarily focused on computer-based math in contrast to math competitions that use scientific calculators or handwritten only. Mathethons are analogous to hackathons for computer programming competitions. They can very in academic difficulty from elementary competitions, middle school, high school, and college level mathematics. [1] They can be held in person individually, as a group, or hosted virtually online. [2] [3] [4]
