On November 30, the All-Russian Mathematical Dictation, organized by Novosibirsk State University, took place Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics (MMF) with the support of the T-Education project. The event was part of a larger campaign that took place this year at 25 offline locations across the country, as well as online, and attracted over 50,000 participants. Around 150 people registered at the NSU site. Schoolchildren, students, and anyone who loves the exact sciences came to write their papers in person on a frosty Sunday.
The dictation took place in the auditorium of the NSU flow auditorium building, which is part of the second stage of the project. new campus of NSU, being built as part of the national project "Youth and Children." At NSU, as at other venues, 10 winners were selected for scoring the highest number of points based on the assessment results. They were awarded commemorative prizes from T-Education.
Before the dictation began, participants were greeted by T-Education representative Natalia Bogdanova, who noted the scale of the event and the importance of mathematical literacy in everyday life:
"This is a major intellectual event; over 50,000 people registered for platforms across Russia. Why is T-Bank supporting this event? Because mathematics is everywhere. We assess risks and make decisions, test new functionality, and protect our clients from fraud using mathematical tools."
The dictation rules were simple. Participants solve 15 problems of varying difficulty: 10 with short answers and 5 with detailed solutions. No outside assistance is permitted during the dictation. Two hours are allotted for the entire test, and upon completion, everyone receives a certificate.
The organizer of the dictation at NSU was Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics, who is actively involved in popularizing mathematics. Sergey Bolgarin, a senior lecturer in the programming department at the Faculty of Mathematics and Mathematics, noted the university's long-standing collaboration with T-Bank:
"Of course, this isn't the first project we've run with T-Bank. For example, as part of the Big Mathematical Workshop, T-Bank initiated several projects and sponsored and organized intellectual social events. We're grateful to our partner for the opportunity to participate in the All-Russian Mathematical Dictation. I believe Akademgorodok is an interesting venue for the event, as participants have the opportunity to see the new NSU campus and take a walk in nature. For applicants, this is an opportunity to see the university where they'll be studying."
Nikita Bozhkov, a student and graduate, who participated in the dictation, shared his impressions. Specialized Scientific Center of Novosibirsk State University:
I saw the news about the dictation and decided to give it a try. I wanted to see if I could solve the problems. The most frustrating was the probability problem—I kind of got it right, but then again, I didn't. The graph problems were pleasant: the numbers were easy and pretty. The problem about the perimeters of a triangle and a hexagon and comparing their areas was interesting. It was about as difficult as the Unified State Exam (USE). If you'd taken the USE exam, you could easily solve it in an hour or an hour and a half.
During the break between the dictation and the awards ceremony, the participants were offered a quiz from students of the Faculty of Mathematics and Mathematics of NSU and an interactive exhibition. mathematical festival "This is Mathematics".
This is not the first time NSU has participated in federal educational projects, and the All-Russian Mathematical Dictation marked another step in popularizing the sciences among schoolchildren and students. Despite the cold and the fact that it was a Sunday, the participants had the opportunity to test themselves, refresh their knowledge, and experience the atmosphere of an intellectual community that unites people across the country.
