| BW math competitors, L to R, Christine Austen, Alan Jankowski, Matt Switlyk, Victoria Switlyk, and Hannah Sedely |
A group of BW students represented the mathematics department as they traveled to Marshall University in West Virginia this spring to participate in the spring meeting of the Ohio Section of the Mathematical Association of America. Christine Austin '15, Hannah Sedely '16, Matthew Switlyk '15 and Victoria Switlyk '15 all presented student research at the gathering.
Two teams of students also competed in the 12th Annual Leo Schneider Problem Solving Competition. Facing off against strong competition, both BW teams performed admirably with Matt Switlyk and Alan Jankowski '17 coming in 7th, while Austin, Sedely and Victoria Switlyk finished 10th.
Earlier in the year, two BW students also earned positive scores on the annual William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Exam, a famously challenging mathematics competition for undergraduate students in North America with Brian McLaughlin '15 scoring in the top 25%, and Matt Switlyk in the upper half of the elite competitors.
