Over 400 high school students competed in various math challenges at Cal State University Bakersfield's 52nd Math Field Day, showcasing their skills and creativity.

The first-ever Math Field Day was held at California State University Bakersfield in 1971. Fifty-two years later, it continues strong.

For Math Field Day, getting to 50 years is due to the dedicated faculty of the university’s mathematics department and generations of high schoolers who enjoy a good challenge.

The event was canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID and went virtual last year. Math Field Day returned as an in-person event on Saturday at Cal State Bakersfield for its 50th year.
