Math student earns $50,000 scholarship Dmitry "Mitka" Vaintrob, South Eugene High School's own math phenom, added yet another prestigious award to his collection last week. Vaintrob, a senior, was named one of three top winners of the Intel Engineering and Science Fair, earning a $50,000 scholarship. Vaintrob was one of three winners selected from more than 1,500 young scientists from 51 countries, regions and territories. His sophisticated mathematical investigation evaluated ways to associate algebraic structures to topological spaces and proved that loop homology homology (hōmŏl`əjē), in biology, the correspondence between structures of different species that is attributable to their evolutionary descent from a common ancestor. and Hochschild cohomology coincide for an important class of spaces. In March, Vaintrob was the third-place finisher at the 2007 Intel Science Talent Search The Intel Science Talent Search (Intel STS) is a prestigious research-based science competition in the United States primarily for high school students. The Intel STS is administered by the Science Service, which began the competition in 1942 with Westinghouse; for many years, the , winning a $50,000 scholarship, and last December he won a $100,000 scholarship as first-place winner of the 2006-07 Siemens Competition in Math, Science & Technology. Vaintrob hopes to study mathematics at Harvard or the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Massachusetts Institute of Technology, at Cambridge; coeducational; chartered 1861, opened 1865 in Boston, moved 1916.
