The team is sponsored by Paul Martino of AggregateKnowledge, Keystone Consulting Engineers, Lehigh University, and Buchart-Horn/BASCO Associates. For 2009, we hope to obtain additional sponsorship. For a gift of at least $500, a corporation can make a valuable contribution benefiting some of the top high school math students in the country, and also get your name on this website and our t-shirt (for a $1000 gift). Contact Don Davis if you might consider doing this.

Don Davis (dmd1@lehigh.edu) formed the Lehigh Valley ARML team in 1993 and has coached it for 16 years. Since 2003, he has been assisted by Ken Monks (monks@scranton.edu). A team consists of 15 individuals. We had four teams in 2007 and 2008, three teams in 2006, two in 2005, and one in the years prior to 2005. Team members are selected primarily on performance on various math contests, especially the Lehigh University High School Math Contest.
