Inspired by similar efforts at schools such as River Hill and Centennial, Walter Johnson's math enthusiasts banded together to establish the Walter Johnson High School Math Journal in 2025. In this project, interested students write up expository research articles on math topics of their choice.Â
The WJ Math Journal aims to inspire collaboration and celebrate the joy of mathematics. It provides a platform for students and community members to explore, discuss, and share both pure and applied mathematical ideas through creative and engaging contributions.
Students, as well as some alumni, can write about anything pertaining to math! We have three main sections: pure math, applied math, and math history. Below you will find some topics from 2025-26:
Fractal Geometry
Quantum Van Der Waerden's Theorem
Prospect Theory
Musical Intervals
The Shoelace Formula
If you are interested in joining our math journal for the 2026-27 school year, fill out this form to express your interest. Sometime in October/November, at a WJMT meeting, we will have a journal interest meeting where we will explain more about the journal and assign article roles. If you have any questions, contact:
