Clay Mathematics Institute Names Michael Hamburg as American Olympiad Scholar
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 5 , 2001/PRNewswire/ -- The Clay Mathematics
Institute (CMI), a private non-profit foundation, designates
Michael Hamburg of South Bend, Indiana its CMI Olympiad Scholar
for 2001.
The twelve judges of the USA Mathematical Olympiad Competition recommended Mr. Hamburg, an eleventh grade student at Saint Joseph's High School, as the contestant whose correct solution to a mathematics problem in the competition best fulfilled the CMI selection criteria of elegance, beauty, imagination, and depth of insight. They unanimously cited Mr. Hamburg for his solution to Problem 6 on the test, which only 9 of the 270 final round contestants answered correctly. Michael invented a particularly ingenious construction and then concisely and elegantly derived the result. The judges declared that the diagram his solution was virtually a "proof without words."
The goal of this award is to identify and to encourage a student with an unusual gift for mathematical discovery. The CMI President, Harvard mathematician Arthur Jaffe, presented the award to Mr. Hamburg at the USA Mathematical Olympiad Competition awards dinner in the diplomatic reception rooms of the U.S. Department of State at 7 p.m. on Monday, June 4, 2001.
