In November, WAMC participated at PUMaC at Princeton. The Princeton University Mathematics Competition is an annual competition run by the Princeton University Math Club.Unlike many other math competitions, PUMaC includes a week-long take-home round that often involves undergraduate level topics that are completely new to the vast majority of the students.

It's the take-home section of the competition that our team shined in and achieved the best result in the WAMC history.

Please join me in congratulating our team:  Aaron Cushman,  Serena Diamond, Joseph Girotto, Alwin Jing, Aaron Pan,  Max Salvestrini, Alexander Svoronos (team captain), and Jonathan Zhou on placing 16th in the Power Round (A Division). 

Special congratulations to Alex Svoronos who placed in both of his individual rounds and among the top 10 individuals overall.
