HAFTR students get science win

David Fleschner, Maxwell Lent and Eric Wietschner of the Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns and Rockaway were awarded medals for their outstanding research at the Long Island Math Fair on April 24 at Hofstra University. 

David researched infinite sets and classified various subsets of the real numbers for their cardinality (bronze medal); Maxwell, recursion relationships of triangular numbers (silver); Eric, knot theory (silver). 

All three students worked with their mentor, Mr. Neil Bernstein, chairman of HAFTR’s mathematics department chairman. They are pictured with HAFTR Principal Naomi Lippman.
