 I'm going to talk about student X, and you get to solve for X as we go along. The student X began a mathematical journey at NCSS in pre-calculus. X was a sort of a retake-to-place-for-test, was able to move into calculus, but also decided to take elective courses in combinatorics and quantum mathematics. And these two very different courses from calculus. Against student X, a new way of thinking about mathematics, and a new vision of what mathematics can do, and student X wanted more. From calculus through graph theory, advanced combinatorics, multivariable calculus, math modeling, complex systems, and all 16 master courses in mathematics, plus a seminar and two individualized study that were arranged, student X has made understanding mathematics passionate. X has devoted time over the summer and outside of class to pursue his method of interest. Our ordinary generally enjoys discussing mathematical ideas and searching for connections along the concepts previously studied. Student X served as a math tutor, was a key member of the advanced mathematical topics research group, and one of the team members wrote that high M.C.M. and I.C.M. modeling team that wrote outstanding papers. So, depending upon the vagaries of the referees, student X and his group may have two published papers when they graduate. But one of the things that we always need to keep in mind, and it was mentioned just a moment ago, is student X didn't do this by itself. A lot of... students. A lot of the work that I did, and we got back to the college school was done in groups. So, all of these awards are really a shared award and a very real sense. But our honorary is currently in Singapore, representing the U.S. and NTSSF in Singapore International Math Challenge. This is a one week modeling challenge, including the top students around the world. Our first honorary student X is James Chappell. He has the student most likely to arrive at your office door sometime in mid-April. To begin the conversation with, I've been thinking about that problem we were working on in September. Student Y never stops thinking about mathematics. Student Y has an infectious interest in all things mathematical, and that infection spreads to nearly every group, every work group that he's involved with, whether the group members wanted it or not. One mathematics instructor commented, student Y is the most enthusiastic math student I've ever taught. Y always contributes thoughtfully to our last discussions, trying to find ways to connect new concepts with previous material, and is a wonderful platform. As a math tutor, student Y patiently explains topics to students, waiting for them to see the beauty of math that Y finds so evident. Student Y has completed 13 trimesters of mathematics, and one seminar on mathematics. But what distinguished student Y, leading all the algorithms, is not what they do for credit. It's more about how they spend their time, what they read and think about, but it doesn't count for credit. That truly distinguishes that with scholars. Student Y is a mathematician, and we know them as watchmen. Our second mathematics scholar is also in Singapore, representing the best of the best. Student Y is Dylan King. This thing was created in mathematics at NCSSA. Student Z took advantage of many offerings in mathematics, and found a way to shoot more in one mental world of the schedule. This trimester, student Z's class schedule is A block group theory, B block modern networks, C block numerical analysis, D block local intervals in vector fields, E block advanced quantum learning models. Z is also a mathematics tutor, and no matter the course students had questions about, student Z was always able to offer support because student Z had had them all. Student Z has also adapted to the task of mathematical competitions, and problem solving. Tying for school winter in this year's AOC was a member of the first place team in mathematics at the NSC Student Academy of Science and the first place team in the College of Charleston, Madeline, and representing the Southeast U.S. and the Humboldt University of mathematician contest. Student Z is also a talented modeler, as a member of the Meritorious Science GM team, and a member of the Moody's Mega Math Challenge final school. One teacher commented, student Z meets every new math challenge with a wonderfully positive attitude. Z takes great pride in her work and is a diligent student who strives to build a deep understanding of the topics in each of her methods. Our third honoree is also student Z, and student Z is another student.
