Math Students Excel at Competition
|
|
The Mathematical Association of America’s American Mathematics Competitions program offers examinations in high school mathematics designed to promote the development and enhancement of problem-solving skills. The AMC 10 and AMC 12 exams are both 25-question, 75-minute, multiple choice exams offered once every year.
The AMC 10 is for students in 10th grade and below, and covers math normally associated with grades 9 and 10. It assumes knowledge of elementary algebra; basic geometry knowledge, including the Pythagorean Theorem, area and volume formulas; elementary number theory; and elementary probability.
The AMC 12 covers the entire high school mathematics curriculum, including the above, as well as, trigonometry, advanced algebra, and advanced geometry, but excludes calculus.
Congratulations to this year's top scorers at Wilson High School on the AMC10 and AMC12 exams!
AMC12: First place- Sashank Sridhar; Second place- Krishna Nayak; Third place - Shreya Agrawal
AMC10: First place- Luke Kline; Second place- Noah Barndt; Third place- Joel Loos and Colby Snyder

Math “Superstars” Complete 14 Hour Task!
|
|
Recently, two teams of Wilson High School "math superstars" participated in the annual M3 Challenge (MathWorks Math Modeling). They started their day prior to 7 am on a Google Hangout Video Call, downloading the question and beginning the discussion, research, and delegation process. The teams had 14 hours to submit their answers.
This year's teams were asked to build a mathematical model that predicts the spread of nicotine use due to vaping over the next 10 years, analyze how the growth of this new form of nicotine use compares to that of cigarettes, create a model that simulates the likelihood that a given individual will use a given substance (taking into account social influence and characteristic traits), and predict how many students among a class of 300 high school seniors will use certain substances. All in 14 hours and 20 pages!
Congratulations to the team of Sashank Sridhar, Sanam Amin, Krishna Nayak, Thanh Nguyen, and Olivia Xie, whose paper was placed among the top 20% of submissions in this year’s M3 Challenge! Congratulations on this tremendous accomplishment!

some of the most influential personalities
