Math Students Compete at Princeton

	Latta Browse, math department chair, led a student team to Princeton.

Mathematics department chairman Latta Browse reports that eight members of Blair’s math team postponed their Thanksgiving vacations to enter an elite competition sponsored by PUMaC, Princeton University’s undergraduate math club. He explains, “On Saturday morning, November 20, Blair participated in the more competitive A division, with each member taking two separate one-hour tests individually before coming together as a team for a group competition. John Kang, JangWon Lim, Melody Shao, Jason Zhang, San Tripathi, Nuoya Li and Yuan Li acquitted themselves well, while Supanat Kamtue showed his mettle by advancing to the afternoon’s final round.”

PUMaC is a mathematics competition for high school level students organized by the students of Princeton University and entirely student-run. Although PUMaC is only in its fifth year, it has been growing quickly, beginning with 200 students in its first year and growing to over 750 students as of last year. The PUMaC also welcomed international teams in both the Main Competition and the Power Competition.
