Free & Open-Source

We believe that we can do more as a community by working together. That’s why Mathematical Puzzle Programs does not charge for host campuses to run its events, and that’s why MaPP has a free and open-source culture with respect to its published works.

We want to thank our volunteers across the country who have agreed to create mathematical puzzle content for us to license under these terms. Through your work, we hope to encourage more young adults to embrace mathematical thinking in their academics and careers!
