Oratory Prep student Jerry Du recently reached an impressive academic milestone, presenting his original research in Washington, DC alongside a professor from Montclair State University.
Jerry’s work explored the discovery of superincreasing number sequences within Pascal’s Triangle and examined how these mathematical patterns can be applied to modern encryption methods and password security. His research highlights the powerful connection between foundational mathematical theory and real-world cybersecurity solutions, demonstrating how long-studied numerical structures can play a vital role in protecting digital information today.
Jerry presented his findings at the Joint Mathematics Meetings, one of the largest annual gatherings of mathematicians in the world. The conference brings together researchers, educators, and students from across the globe to share innovative discoveries and collaborate on advancing the field of mathematics.
Presenting at such a prestigious event reflects Jerry’s intellectual curiosity, dedication to academic excellence, and willingness to engage in complex, real-world problem solving. His achievement represents the spirit of scholarship and innovation that defines the Oratory Prep academic experience.
Congratulations to Jerry on this outstanding accomplishment. The Oratory Prep community is proud to celebrate his success and looks forward to seeing where his academic journey leads next.
