The citywide Mathematics Olympiad was held at ITMO University. Fifty students from Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University participated. All participants demonstrated a high level of preparation and confident knowledge, achieving excellent results in both the team and individual competitions.
Following the Olympiad's results, Yegor Grigoryev, a third-year student at the Institute of Electronics and Telecommunications, won the individual Grand Prix, scoring the maximum number of points and leaving the other participants far behind.
Egor commented on his success: "This was my first time participating in this Olympiad. The problems varied in difficulty. Some were easy to solve, while others seemed challenging but quite interesting. I especially had to improvise on the geometry and differential equation problems. I would like to express my gratitude to Irina Vyacheslavovna Vagurina for her excellent teaching of mathematical analysis, and to Maria Romanovna Bortkovskaya for preparing me for the Olympiad."
In the team competition, students Egor Grigoryev, Daniil Sereda (Institute of Computer Science and Cybersecurity), and Artemy Goldberg (Institute of Physics and Mechanics) took a respectable second place. The individual success of the participants deserves special mention: nine diplomas were awarded to the Polytechnic University representatives in the individual competition, confirming their high level of mathematical preparation.
The Olympiad jury included Alexandra Vakaeva and Leonid Levitsky, associate professors of the Department of Higher Mathematics at SPbPU. The judges noted the high level of difficulty of the problems and the participants' thorough preparation. Reviewing and handling appeals required diligence and a great deal of responsibility, and the team of experts accomplished this task with distinction.
Events like these offer students new opportunities for professional and academic growth, foster research skills, and strengthen interuniversity ties. Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University expresses its sincere gratitude to the ITMO University organizing committee and personally to the jury chair, Doctor of Physics and Mathematics, Professor Igor Popov, for the high level of organization and warm atmosphere.
