A Raffles Institution (Junior College) alumna has become the first Singaporean to clinch a major American award given to female undergraduates who excel in mathematics.
She is Ms Charmaine Sia, 23, just months away from graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with a double degree in mathematics and physics.
The annual award, given by the non-profit Association for Women in Mathematics since 1990, aims to encourage women to study and pursue careers in the mathematical sciences.
