Math Math Modeling is a unique and profound math course at Mass Academy taught by Ms. Durost. The course synthesizes mutli-discliplinary material, encouraging students to use and pursue algebra, statistics, trigonometry, and actuarial science in engaging with real world problems. A project-based curriculum, students engage in math-modeling competitions such as MTFC and HiMCM while also competing in prestigious competitions such as NEML.
ANOVA Presentation:
During
the statistics unit, students with prior statistics experience
through the AP Statistics exam instruct their peers how to use ANOVA
through the development of a concise presentation. I collaborated
with Sam on this project where our presentation
included both presentational and interactive components that were
matched to the slideshow below. If you are having trouble viewing

MTFC Scenario Response:
MTFC is one of the largest math competitions Mass Academy students
participate in. A math modeling challenge, Modeling the future
challenge has students create mathematical models around real world
scenarios. MTFC is broken into two main components: the qualifying
round and the personal project. For our qualifying round, our team
(Me, Sahasra, Svasti, Arthur) had to answer a series of analytical
questions in response to a corn farming scenario involving the
selection of different insurances for the greatest predicted profit.
For our personal project, we plan to develop an actuarial model that
predicts stock market changes in a local enviroment to encourange
smart investing sustainable economic infrastructures. If you are having trouble viewing the document, click here!
