twitterTwo LV students win math scholarships
Monday, Oct. 21, 2002 | 9:06 a.m.
Two Las Vegas high school students have won $1,000 scholarships from the Mathematical Association of America, which presented similar awards to the top 149 students in the United States, the District of Columbia and U.S. territories.
Chen Jing of Clark High School and Patrick Hummel of the Meadows School were the Las Vegas winners. Nathan Wonder of Reno also won a scholarship.
The scholarships are offered through the Akamai Foundation, founded in September 2000 by the management and employees of Akamai Technologies, headquartered in Cambridge, Mass.
The Mathematical Association of America is the largest professional society of college and university mathematics teachers in the world, with 28,000 members, including college and university faculty.
The mathematics examination is a 15-question, three-hour test in which students are highly unlikely to correctly guess answers.
Students taking the exam are in grades eight through 12.
