Poster Presentation
A trio of mathematics and mathematics education majors, Marcos Martinez, Peter Bendel and Nicholas Mohrhauser (pictured L-4R), presented their poster from the Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM). Their poster, titled China Wins the 2028 Olympic Games!, utilized data from previous Olympic games to predict medal counts for each country.
Congratulations to Marcos Martinez on clearing the P Exam for actuaries!
Nathan Hill
