Aside from math, music is a big part of my life, and I can be seen walking around Toronto vibing to Taylor Swift. I have been enjoying singing and playing the violin for many years and have been in all sorts of ensembles, including an acapella club.

Name: Maggie Pang
Birth Year: 2006
Additional Information
My mathematical interests include group theory (or any mention of symmetry or lack thereof), knot invariants (or topology in general), and all sorts of other interesting geometry (tiles, slices, algebraic varieties, etc.). Although various objects take something like 6 hours to fold, I very much enjoy origami and the math that goes behind things like polypolyhedra, tessellations, crease patterns, and auxetic surfaces.
I'm not insane.

I tend to gravitate towards the social sciences: history, geography, economics, politics, and the like. Maybe that's because most of my family are MPs.
