Student Reaches National Finals in Math Game, Wins $1,000 for Math Department

Earlier this month, senior Allison Wang was a national competitor in the “Who Wants to Be a Mathematician” game, hosted by the American Mathematical Society. After going through two rounds of testing in the fall, Wang qualified for the final stage of the game, where she competed against nine other high school students at the Joint Mathematics Meeting in Seattle. More than 2,300 students nationwide took the qualifying tests. Her performance earned Harker’s math department a $1,000 award.
