'''Michael Anthony Viscardi''' (born February_22, 1989 in Plano, Texas) of San Diego, California is a Mathematician who won the 2005 Siemens_Westinghouse_Competition with a mathematical project on how heat travels across a metal surface, winning $100,000 in scholarships. Viscardi's theorem is an expansion of the 19th-century work of Lejeune_Dirichlet. He also entered the same project in the Intel_Science_Talent_Search, and has been recently named a finalist. He will be competing with 39 other finalists in Washington DC for the top 10 prizes. Viscardi has also qualified for the United_States_of_America_Mathematics_Olympiad.
