Mathematics gives us the critical ability to learn and think logically in any field of endeavor, and the workforce of tomorrow will demand it. At AUS, we make sure to take part in initiatives that reinforce mathematical concepts in students' minds in fun and exciting ways. Sharakah MathFest is an annual celebration of mathematics at AUS where high school students and their mentors from all over the country compete by solving mathematical questions that will further ignite their creativity and problem-solving skills.
