Rutherford College sent a team to compete in the 2026 CalcEx

On Thursday, the 15th of October, Rutherford College sent a team to compete in the 2026 CalcEx. This was a calculus competition between 20 schools in the Auckland region, held at Mount Albert Grammar School. Teams were challenged to complete 20 complex calculus questions in 30 minutes, without the help of calculators or tools.  

Rutherford College’s team consisted of Aditya Rathour, Illia Liamtsev, Chau Giang Nguyen, Lukas Turner, and Neil Mendonca. They tied for fourth place overall, correctly completing 12 out of the 20 questions, scoring 60 points. The event was a challenging and fruitful endeavour for the team, and they proved themselves on a regional level.
