Young research scientists win scholarships

Carrying on the tradition of ancient Greek mathematician Diophantus, 16-year-old Christopher McLean Skinner won first prize in the 48th annual Science Talent Search this week. Skinner studied a general diophantine equation and found methods for determining the upper bounds on its integral solutions. First in his senior class at Hall H.S. in Little Rock, Ark., Skinner received a $20,000 scholarship.
