Mathematics
Fractals and knots are intriguing mathematical objects with similar applications and visual appeal, yet there have been very few reports on combining the two. In this project, an algorithmic…
Mathematics
Third Award
This study was motivated by a trance in my bathroom, looking at puddles on the ground, and imagining a curved mirror in mid-air. Then, emit a light beam to the curved mirror, in what circums…
Mathematics
It is known that there are countably many non-integers a > 1 which possess the property that ?a^n? is not a prime for all integers n = 1. There are however very few known explicit examples o…
Mathematics
This project explores the application of complex analysis techniques for solving combinatorial problems, particularly in the context of an enumeration problem in the theory of regular langua…
Mathematics
Third Award
Quantum computing is a rapidly growing field that applies quantum mechanics to computer science and its algorithms, and it has many applications, including optimization problems, where the g…

Fourth Award
Linear Delta robots (LDRs) are a relatively new subset of parallel robots, used in some 3D printing and manufacturing applications due to their rigidity and speed. However, there are just tw…

Mathematics
A fundamental study in the field of quantum algebra is the study of fusion categories, which generalize finite groups and their representation categories. They also yield the structures of t…
Mathematics
A zigzag chord is a broken line with vertices on the circle and connecting in a zigzag way, and any two adjacent segments form a fixed certain angle. The initial observation of this project…
Mathematics
Third Award
Ever since the deferred acceptance algorithm was first proposed by Gale and Shapley (1962), there has been much research about mechanisms that optimally match high school seniors to colleges…
Mathematics
Dummit, Granville and Kisilevsky have recently shown that the proportion of semiprimes (products of two primes) not exceeding a given x, whose factors are congruent to 3 modulo 4, is more th…
Mathematical Sciences
Third Award
This project is inspired from a personal experience of a delayed diagnosis and treatment of pneumonia, which partially resulted from an inconsistency in auscultation interpretation. This pro…
Mathematical Sciences
Second Award
The Robinson-Schensted-Knuth (RSK) Correspondence is a mathematical mapping that takes a permutation and uniquely maps it to a pair of Young tableaux. This correspondence has been the subjec…
Mathematics
Second Award
Knot theory is the mathematical study of tangled loops of string. Over the last 50 years, a number of applications have been found. For instance: molecules created with the same atoms, but s…
Mathematics
For any given curve, integration is the customary method for determining the area under the curve. However, finding the actual length of the curve is a far more complex task and one rarely e…

Honorable_mention Award
Artificial intelligence will be the next great leap for mankind, and it will influence all of our lives. My objective was to create an artificial intelligence neural network that is capable…
Mathematics
First Award
The Two-Way Partitioning Problem is an NP-Complete problem that seeks to find a partition of a set of integers: given an input multiset S of n positive integers, separate the integers of S i…
Mathematics
In this project we aim to study the structures of graph, generated by the transformations x? kx^n in Zp, with the goal to obtain results, in a sense equivalent to the result in Lee Deville's…
Mathematics
A positive square matrix is an n × n array of positive real number entries. The Sinkhorn-Knopp alternate minimization algorithm transforms these matrices into their respective doubly stochas…
Mathematics
Fourth Award
Gerrymandering is one of the biggest problems in American democracy. Political parties have, in the past few decades, used redistricting as a method of maintaining political control. Often,…
Mathematics
Two matrices, in which their numbers are separated by a number defined by “n” or “ni”, being ‘i’ the imaginary unit, will be similar. This research will work with various types of squared ma…
