Regents School of Austin recently announced it has won the national “Math for the Win” contest and the chance to chat with an NFL Player and published mathematician. Texas Instruments asked students and teachers across the country to show how they use math to win at everyday life.
Josh Wilkerson, an advanced math teacher at the Regents School, submitted the winning photo, earning his students a skype session with John Urschel of the Baltimore Ravens. Urschel, an offensive lineman, is working to debunk stereotypes about math as he pursues his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics at M.I.T., where he holds a 4.0 GPA.
