Quantum Computing – Vincent Z. (’27)

I’m Vincent Zhao, and last year in my fusion 10 class, I built a 3-4 quibt error-correction circuit, simulated noise effects, and test how different rotation angles affect fidelity. To do this, I used Python 3, Qiskit Aer, NumPy, Matplotlib and VsCode. Through this project, I found that fidelity fluctuated periodically across rotation angles due to noise, results were not fully reproducible because of random … Continue reading Quantum Computing – Vincent Z.

Fermat’s Christmas Theorem – Alvin S. (’27)

Featured image: Image of Pythagorean Windmills which satisfy W17: (1,1,4), (1,4,1), (1,2,2), (3,1,2), (3,2,1). Hello everyone! My name is Alvin, and last year, I was granted the unique opportunity to choose and present a math proof for my Precalculus 11 class. This article is a showcase of Zagier’s famous one sentence proof. It initially piqued my interest, not simply for its brevity, but for its … Continue reading Fermat’s Christmas Theorem – Alvin S. (’27)

Investigating the Effect of CHD on HRQoL using the HINT-8 Index – Sion S. (’27)

I’m Sion, and this is a research I carried out about how Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) affects Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) of older adults in Korea using the HINT-8 index. NOTE: This post summarizes an independent project I conducted, The full paper is not yet published. It will be updated with a link attached to the full paper once it gets published.  Reasoning: … Continue reading Investigating the Effect of CHD on HRQoL using the HINT-8 Index – Sion S. (’27)

Sum of n Squares – Christopher Li (’27)

My name is Christopher, and over the course of the last two months, our math class has been heavily diving into proofs. We’ve learned many different proof methods, but one of the ones that have stuck out to me the most is induction. It’s very amazing to me how we can say just for N to be true, then N+1 must also be true, and … Continue reading Sum of n Squares – Christopher Li (’27)

Perfect Squares – Justin Bao (’25)

I’m Justin Bao, and over the past few years I have been on a personal journey into the world of mathematics. The subject has fascinated me and I have engaged myself in the community through competitions, presentations, and being involved in Maths Club. In particular, my focus has been on providing myself a rigorous understanding and foundation of mathematics as a whole. Therefore, I would … Continue reading Perfect Squares – Justin Bao (’25)

Investigating Fruit Peels as pH Indicators – Harry G. (’25)

Featured image: Comparison of apple peel extract, plant leaf extract, and ketchup (rows D, E, F) with more conventional pH indicators: universal indicator solution, phenolphthalein, and bromophenol blue. Back in 2020, I investigated the chemistry of pH indicators, substances that change colour based on acidity. I decided to find out whether biological pigments from plants can do the same thing. After the tedious process of … Continue reading Investigating Fruit Peels as pH Indicators – Harry G. (’25)

Bacterial Contamination – Justin G. (’28)

This project aims to discover what is the safest method of meat thawing. This experiment tested seven different methods: Refrigeration, Microwave, Air Thawing, Hot Water, Cold Water, Brining, and Vinegar. The data for this study is based on the bacterial growth of the aforementioned samples on agar plates. Three main data sets are collected using this raw data: Number of Colony Forming Units (CFU), Area … Continue reading Bacterial Contamination – Justin G. (’28)

Advanced Basketball Analysis – Chris L. (’25)

The NBA has a combination of an ever growing salary cap and reliance on statistics to inform player personnel decision making. There are dozens of statistical features available to the public ranging from basic Points Per Game to the advanced statistics including Win Shares and PER. The behind-the-scenes of contract negotiation is something that is a secret from fans, but using a combination of modeling … Continue reading Advanced Basketball Analysis – Chris L. (’25)
