FINN'S MATH PAGE
=A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE STUDENT= Hello, my name is Finn Brennan-Arffmann and I am in the eighth grade at St. Thomas Choir School, the only boarding school that is also a choir school in the United States. I was born in New York City, but now I live in Chicago, IL. Since I'm in eighth grade and this is my last year, I will be going to Walter Payton College Preparatory High School in downtown Chicago, IL. =HEY FINN, WHAT'S NEW IN MATH CLASS=

Well reader, I am currently taking a superficial look at **HEDGE FUNDS**. Basically, I'm not learning all the formulas and things (which people go to college for). Instead, I'm looking at stuff like "Why do hedge funds exist?" and "When were they first created?". Meanwhile, Mr. O'keefe is going over Algebra I once a week, since we previously did Book One of Euclid's Elements and exams as well as placement tests for high school are coming up soon. Anyway, if you would like to see a little bit more about my project, there's more further down the page. We've just began our projects and I can't wait to see what lies ahead!

=**DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT**=

At first, I came up with four questions and answered them: 1. What is a hedge fund? 2. How do you run a successful hedge fund? 2a. What is Citadel (a well-known hedge fund) about? 3. Are there different kinds of hedge funds? Once I answered them, I started to build off of them and now I have to finish off remainding questions and starting plan my big presentation I am going to give at the end. == = =
