In November, 15 Harker students earned high marks on the Berkeley Math Tournament, held at UC Berkeley. The largest university-sponsored high school math competition on the west coast, it attracted more than 600 students, the most in its history. A total of 18 Harker students (three teams with six students each) participated in the tournament. Individual competitors had the choice of taking a general test or competing in two of the tournament’s four focus subjects: algebra, calculus, discrete math and geometry.
Students who received awards in the tournament are as follows:
Aman Chandra, grade 9 – Honorable Mention (top 50%) in geometry
Emma Gao, grade 11 – HM in calculus, Distinguished HM (top 20%) in discrete math
Jessica Hu, grade 9 – HM in calculus
Alex Huang, grade 10 – HM in General Test
Neil Krishnan, grade 10 – HM in algebra, DHM in geometry
Catherine Li, grade 11 – HM in calculus, HM in geometry
Ian Ogden, grade 11 – Seventh and DHM in algebra, HM in discrete math
Caden Ruan, grade 9 – DHM in algebra
Aniketh Tammula, grade 11 – HM in algebra, HM in geometry
Michelle Wei, grade 11 – HM in General Test
Stephen Xia, grade 12 – HM in calculus, DHM in discrete math
Olivia Xu, grade 11 – DHM in geometry
Jonathan Xue, grade 10 – HM in algebra
Eddie Zhang, grade 9 – HM in algebra
William Zhang, grade 11 – HM in algebra, 7th and Distinguished HM (DHM – top 20%) in geometry (after a third-to-eighth tiebreaker)
