The Harry and Ruth Ruderman Award is awarded at the ARML Annual Competition to the winning team of the Power Contest. Harry Ruderman was a treasured member of the mathematics community who influenced and inspired generations of students and teachers. He himself was a remarkable teacher who promoted quality and substance in mathematics education.
