Lincoln High calculus teacher Anthony Yom has given his students the desire to learn and the will to succeed. While his classes are challenging, the educator does all he can to keep his students invested, incorporating real-life situations into his lessons to show them the value of their work. “He challenges us to the max, so we do better on tests,” sophomore student Alexis Pong told the Los Angeles Times. To validate this statement, one of Yom’s other students, 17-year-old Cedrick Argueta, received a perfect score on the Advanced Placement Calculus exam. Only 12 students in the world accomplished this feat. As for all of Yom’s other AP Calculus students, every single one of them passed the challenging exam.
