Jason Bao The team, Jason Bao, Aditya Bora, Mehul Dhoot, Joseph Suharno, and Austin Tsang, spent the past few months developing a solution to the problem of how to make internet access available to everyone. Using mathematical modeling, students had 14 hours in February and March to come up with a solution to the real-world issue of âhow to defeat the digital divide.â Bora said he found the M3 Challenge to be unique among other math competitions, and entertaining as well. â[It] pushed us to balance the quantitative and qualitative realms, breaking down our jumble of numbers into clear, concise explanations,â Bora said. âAnd it was a great opportunity for us to set aside 14 hours with a couple of friends, crack open a soda, and see how we can utilize modeling to change the world.â
