2009 M3 Challenge Sixth Place Team from Staples High School

M3 Challenge Six Place Team, First Honorable Mention Team Prize: $2,500
Staples High School, Westport, CT
Paper: $787 Billion: Will the Stimulus Act Stimulate the U.S. Economy?
Coach: Gertrude Denton
Team: Kyle Beatty, Jonathan Choi, Jason Gandelman, Naveen Murali, Justin Sherman

Top six teams presented their solution papers to a panel of applied mathematicians in the final round of judging on May 5, 2009 at Moody's Corporation headquarters in Manhattan.

Held on March 7-8, almost 400 student teams from Maine to Washington, D.C. participated in the 2009 Moodys Mega Math Challenge requiring them to evaluate whether the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 would in fact stimulate the economy. The problem called for teams to mathematically assess the elements of the stimulus package that will most likely produce the greatest improvements in employment.
