Competing in a pool of 1,084 submissions, the Governor Livingston High School team comprised of Anna Song, Gianna Miggins, Michael Wu, Alexander Ju and Niyant Narang was recently named as one of the Top 6 Teams in the Nation in the 2016 Moody’s Mega Math Challenge.
The Moody’s Mega Math Challenge is an annual Applied Math contest in which high school students use mathematical modeling to devise solutions to relevant everyday issues. The Challenge gives students the opportunity to answer questions by applying Mathematics while encouraging them to study and pursue careers in Math and Science. The focus of the 2016 Moody’s Mega Math Challenge is “the rapidlychanging landscape of the automotive industry, in which automakers are transforming themselves from car builders into ‘mobility companies’”.
This team of Governor Livingston students will traveled to Manhattan on April 25th, where they presented their findings from this competition to a panel of professional Mathematicians. Mr. Steven Hess, Teacher of Mathematics at GLHS, is the team’s faculty advisor.
