Experience Gauger (E.G.)

About the E.G.

The Experience Gauger, as a part of the application process, is a problem set consisting of 7 problems covering a variety of mathematical topics. It is meant to give us a better indication as to how we should design our curriculum; therefore, we suggest that you spend a decent amount of time playing around with these problems. You might find some of the problems very simple and straightforward, while others slightly harder. If this problem set seems challenging, then MOSA is the right program for you!

Please work on the problems independently for as long as you want. You may consult the internet or books for unfamiliar terms and topics as long as you reference them or link the source, but you cannot ask other human beings for help. If you have seen a certain problem before please indicate so when applying. For each problem, please feel free to explore different approaches such as drawing diagrams and tables, making guesses, or testing out cases. Go crazy with experimenting! We are not looking for fully written-out solutions and we do not require that you answer all of the problems, just that you try. Please include your thought processes and any progress you have made in your write-up, even if you did not completely solve the problem. The admission is on a rolling basis, so please plan your time wisely.

Please read the instructions on the first and second page of the Experience Gauger carefully before working on the problems.
