Our Mission
According to a 2017 estimate by the UNESCO Institute for Statistics, over 617 million children and adolescents worldwide do not meet minimum proficiency levels in reading and mathematics. In today's world, lack of funding and access to education is still pervasive, especially in developing countries. In many communities around the world, education is deprioritized because of financial constraints; when education is available, its quality is hampered by limited funding and, as a result, a lack of resources.
CountOnUs is dedicated to breaking financial barriers to education and empowering young mathematicians around the world by providing free instructional materials.

Stephen Jones
FounderHello! My name is Stephen Jones, and I'm a senior at Hunter College High School. From taking advanced math courses to participating in competitions, I've been passionate about math from an early age. I'm proud to have been able to combine my interest in mathematics with my experience as a writer and editor to produce our book, Aristurtle's Mathematical Adventures. In my free time, I like to do aviation photography and to play soccer.
Maya Faughnan
FounderHi there! My name is Maya Faughnan and I am currently a senior at Dominican Academy in New York City. Math has always been one of my favorite subjects and a source of inspiration and interest. Since I was young, I have always enjoyed the challenge of a complex math problem and wanted to find a way to spread that curiosity with others! I am currently president of my math team at my school and hope to bring my team to compete in national competitions. In my free time, I love to play tennis and volunteer.
