Siblings Earn Medals At Al Kalfus LI Math Fair

The Al Kalfus Long Island Math Fair is an academic competition where students are given the opportunity to present mathematical research in written paper format, as well as through oral presentations, to a qualified panel of judges in the discipline.  Each year North Shore Hebrew Academy High School students participate in this competition.

This year Ali Paul (10th Grade) presented her research on parametric equations and their applications.  Her paper entitled Parametric Equations and Methods in Modeling, earned her a prestigious Gold Medal in the competition.  This is Ali’s second medal in the competition as she also received a Gold Medal as a freshman in last year’s competition.

Ryan Paul (9th Grade) also presented research in the year’s Math Fair in the area of polar and spherical coordinates and their applications.  His paper entitled Polar and Spherical Coordinates and Their Applications presented an in-depth look at the mathematics behind GPS Systems and mappings.  Ryan received a Bronze Medal for his research on a very elevated topic in the competition.
