I am a Christian, and I thank my Lord, my wonderful savior Jesus Christ, for all the blessings he has given me. My mathematical ability comes from God, and I shall not be proud. For I could not have these accomplishments without my Lord. This is not a PERSUASIVE webpage, I am not trying to persuade you of anything, except that I am trying to persuade you that I am not trying to persuade you of anything but this. This page is INFORMATIVE, giving details on things that happened.
Following is a *gasp* small list of sites having my name listed for mathematical reasons (listed in reverse chronological order):
| Name | Full Name | Date | Group | Cause | Place |
High School Senior Year (Sept 2003~June 2004) | |||||
| ARML | American Regions Math League | 2004.06.04-05 | National | Division B | 1st |
| This is a team contest, therefore the result page does not have my name on it. This is a very important event, however, so I shall include it here nevertheless. Each team consists of 15 people from a geographically simply connected region. My team, Washington A, placed first in Division B. Past winners (including Washington A for next year) are placed in Division A. This was a very exciting and invigorating event. I coined it my best birthday present. I thank the Lord for letting me meet Kevin D. from Woodinville High School, WA. We will both be a member of the Caltech class of 2008. It is truly wonderful to meet someone as interested in math as I am. | |||||
| USAMO | United States of America Mathematical Olympiad | 2004.04.27-28 | National | Qualifier | -N/A- |
| After taking the AMC 12 (American Mathematics Competition) and AIME (American Invitational Mathematics Examination), I was invited to take this USAMO. If merely qualifying for this test was worth mentioning on the official AMC website, it is worth mentioning it here. Of course, since I am from Washington State, my name is toward the end of the list from the above link. I end up placing 50th in the nation. | |||||
| PhysicsBowl | AAPT PhysicsBowl | 2004.04.20 | Region 15 | Division II (second year students) | 2nd |
| The link above is to a PDF file containing the 2004 PhysicsBowl results. I participated in PhysicsBowl twice already. This year, being prepared by my second-year physics class, I received 2nd in the region (4th page in the said PDF file) for division II, those who had advanced physics. Note that the region includes many states (Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and others). The first place winner was from Vancouver, BC. This implies I was first place in Washington. | |||||
| WSMC | WSMC Mathematics Contest, Regional | 2004.03.17 | Regional | Individual Topical | 1st |
| WSMC Mathematics Contest, State | 2004.04.17 | State | Individual Topical | 1st | |
| This is the Washington State Mathematics Council's High School Mathematics Contest. There are four events, including topical problems. One may choose to take the topical problems as a team or as individuals. I chose individuals and received 1st in state. I received a TI-84 Plus Graphing Calculator. It was given away as a present to someone who has the same birthday as me. | |||||
| WSML | Washington Mathematics League | 2003.10.28-2004.04.06 | State | Individual | 1st |
| This Mathleague competition is held six times. Each time six questions are tested. The sum of the six tests decides the rank. I placed 1st in the State of Washington and recieved my first plaque that has my name engraved. I would suggest that this competition tests more of carefulness than mathematical ability. | |||||
| AMC 12 | American Mathematics Contest 12, 2004 | 2004.02.10 | Nation | Individual (without name) | 13th |
| State | Individual | 1st | |||
| School | School Best, AIME Invitee, Silver Medal | ||||
| The link above is to a PDF file containing the Summary of Results from the 2004 AMC. I did better than my previous years and got 1st place in Washington State (p.5 in the siad PDF file). In fact, there are 12 perfect scorers on the AMC 12A. My score is the next possible score, placing me, with two other students, 13th in the nation (AMC statisic). I also got the highest score in my school and was invited to take the AIME (American Invitational Mathematics Examination) (p.60). I received a Silver Medal for being school best thrice in a row. My school, Shorewood High School, ended up placing 5th on the Team Scores (the sum of the top three scores in a school) in Washington State (p.46). | |||||

| PhysicsBowl | AAPT PhysicsBowl | 2003.04.?? | Region 15 | Division I | 2nd |
| The link above is to a PDF file containing the 2003 PhysicsBowl results. I participated in PhysicsBowl last year, without being in physics class, I received the top score at my school. This year, being prepared by my regular physics class, I received 2nd in the region (6th page in the said PDF file). Note that the region includes many states (Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and others). The first place winner was from Boise, Idaho. This implies I was first place in Washington. | |||||
| WSMC | WSMC Mathematics Contest, Regional | 2003.03.19 | Regional | Individual Topical | 1st |
| WSMC Mathematics Contest, State | 2003.04.26 | State | Individual Topical | 2nd | |
| This is the Washington State Mathematics Council's High School Mathematics Contest. There are four events, including topical problems. One may choose to take the topical problems as a team or as individuals. I chose individuals and received 2nd in state, 1st in region. | |||||
| AMC 12 | American Mathematics Contest 12, 2003 | 2003.02.11 | State | Individual | 4th |
| School | School Best, AIME Invitee, Bronze Medal | ||||
| The link above is to a PDF file containing the Summary of Results from the 2003 AMC. As a 11th grader, I can only take AMC 12. I did better than last year and got 4th place in Washington State (p.5 in the siad PDF file). I also got the highest score in my school and was invited to take the AIME (American Invitational Mathematics Examination) (p.63). I received a Bronze Medal for being school best twice in a row. My school, Shorewood High School, ended up placing 6th on the Team Scores (the sum of the top three scores in a school) in Washington State. | |||||
High School Sophomore Year (Sept 2001~June 2002) | |||||
| Blaine | Northwest Math Championship | 2003.02.08 | Grade 11-12 | Individual | 7th |
| As a Junior in high school, and my first time participating in the Northwest Math Championship, I placed 7th in my group (grades 11-12). As for school results, Shorewood High School, my school, got 11th on the contest, which was unfortunate since the trophies are given out only to the top ten schools. | |||||
| MOSP | Mathematical Olympiad Summer Program | 2002 June | Yellow Group | Style | 4th |

| USAMO | United States of America Mathematical Olympiad | 2002.05.03-04 | National | Qualifier | -N/A- |
| After taking the AMC 12 (American Mathematics Competition) and AIME (American Invitational Mathematics Examination), I was invited, along with only one other student in the State of Washington, to take this USAMO. If merely qualifying for this test was worth mentioning on the official AMC website, it is worth mentioning it here. Of course, since I am from Washington State, my name is toward the end of the list from the above link. | |||||
| AMC 12 | American Mathematics Contest 12, 2002 | 2002.02.12 | State | Individual | 6th |
| School | School Best, AIME Invitee, Team Member | ||||
| The link above is to a PDF file containing the Summary of Results from the 2002 AMC. AMC is one of the most famous high school math contests. I took AMC 10 when I was in 9th grade in Taiwan (which is a country next to China __BUT__ not China). When I was 10th grade, I took AMC 12 because my school teacher did not think enough people will take AMC 10. Anyway, I took this and got 6th place in the state (p.4 in the said PDF file). I also got the highest score in my school and was invited to take the AIME (American Invitational Mathematics Examination) (p.34). My school, Shorewood High School, ended up placing 10th on the Team Scores (the sum of the top three scores in a school) for Washington State. | |||||
