Math Madness 2k17 Champion!

The Math Madness 2k17 Champion is Here!

The events leading up to this moment have been exciting. We've seen upsets, landslide victories, and to-the-teeth battles, but as each mathematician falls, the taste of the coming victory becomes stronger. On this day, the dream to be deemed champion is going to become a reality for either Cauchy or Ramanujan.

See who won after the break.

Yes, the winner is A. L. Cauchy! This mathlete definitely deserves the gold, as the 12 seed coming in, he has proved that the power of math knowledge outweighs the influence of popularity. Cauchy's work is prominent in analysis and topology, and without his theorems, it is hard to say where mathematics would be today.
Congratulations Cauchy, the 2017 Math Madness Champ!

Thanks to everyone who voted, hope to see you again next year!
