UPEI has great showing at Science Atlantic’s 2018 Conference for Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science
UPEI’s School of Mathematical and Computational Sciences sent a team of 29 students and six faculty members to the 2018 Conference for Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science. The conference was held this past weekend in Moncton and was sponsored by Science Atlantic, the Atlantic Association for Research in the Mathematical Sciences (AARMS), and l'Université de Moncton.
UPEI’s team competed in a number of categories, performing very well against its Atlantic Canadian competition. Chao Qian and Ben Wang won second prize in the Mathematics Problem Solving Contest. Ali Raisolsadat took second prize in the Statistics Presentation category. Stephanie Cairns won first place in the Computer Science Presentation category.
“We are very proud of our student speakers and competitors,” said Dr. Shannon Fitzpatrick, interim associate dean of UPEI’s School of Mathematical and Computational Science. “Their success is result of their hard work and willingness to challenge themselves. We are also grateful for our funding from TD Bank, which supports student experiential learning through conference participation.”
