A team of Upper St. Clair High School students recently earned honorable mention overall and an honorable mention in the category of technical computing in the MathWorks Math Modelingâ¯(M3) Challenge.
Seniors Alex Carlson, Christian Chiu, Harrison Chui, Jack Myers and Sophia Shi will receive a $1,000 scholarship to be split equally.
âOf the 535 papers submitted in this yearâs MathWorks Math Modeling Challenge, your teamâs solution has been selected to receive one of 35 honorable mention awards. You should be very proud of this distinction, especially given the rigorous and intense scrutiny that each paper endured,â said Adrianne Ali, a representative from M3 Challenge. âOnly about 9 percent of the submitted papers were selected for prize recognition.â
