Prof. Danrun Huang, Professor of St. Cloud State University who teaches mathematics at JI every summer, reports that more JI students have become math problem solvers since several students appeared last year in Math Horizons, an official journal of the Mathematical Association of America (MAA).

This year, more names of JI students have appeared as problem solvers in other more advanced MAA journals.  Thus far in 2012:

Tingben Xiao solved Problem 1863, Mathematics Magazine, February 2012, page 66.

Tingben Xiao solved Problem 947, The College Mathematics Journal, March, 2012, page 177.

Chengyu Yi solved Problem 950, The College Mathematics Journal, March, 2012, page 180.

Yujie An solved Problem 953, The College Mathematics Journal, May 2012, page 262.

Yujie An also solved the quite difficult Problem 11558 in The American Mathematical Monthly. The solvers and solutions will be announced in the journal’s 2012 August-September joint issue.

These students, all sophomores now, solved the above problems while taking Vv255 last summer with Prof. Huang.

Here attached a part of the solved problems:
