Walter Johnson Math Journal

WJ's Student-Run Math Journal!

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.

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.

Possible topics

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/biographies. Below you will find some topics from 2025-26:

The Shoelace Formula
Quantum Van Der Waerden's Theorem
Prospect Theory
Musical Intervals
Fractal Geometry

How to find more information:

The WJ Math Journal is a project of the WJ Math Team, which meets every Tuesday in Room 234 during lunch. In addition, we will have a stand at the Freshman Picnic on August 20st, 2026 at 6-8 pm, where you can find out more about the journal project. If you have any further questions, please contact Joe Jiao (Editor-in-Chief 2026-27) at joejuanjiao@gmail.com, wjhsmathjournal@gmail.com, or on Discord.
