They were the only Americans who earned a medal in an international competitor pool representing 35 institutions from 20 countries. 

A mathematical competition for undergraduate students, AKHIMO’s mission is to inspire students to pursue STEM education by enhancing intellectual potential, nurture creative talent, and foster an international network of mathematicians. The competition also celebrates prominent Islamic Golden Age mathematician Muhammad Al-Khorezmi’s contribution to mathematics.
