This was Fujiwara’s third time participating in the x-Position.

“Personally, I really enjoy giving talks about the work I’ve been doing because I think it’s really interesting, but I also love to hear what other people have been researching,” she said. “There’s a lot of research that goes on here at Roosevelt that I know practically nothing about, and it’s really cool to see how faculty and students put a Roosevelt spin on their mathematics research.”

Ortega is also a veteran of the x-Position, having presented a project on the general distribution of wealth in Brazil.

“A lot of work and devotion went into the project, but I feel that being passionate about what you are working on is what makes a project so great,” he said. “I encourage all students to come as their question of ‘When and why will I need to know math?’ will be answered.
