The final round of the RUDN Junior Math Olympiad was held at RUDN University. More than 180 schoolchildren from 16 countries participated in the final round, solving challenging competition problems both remotely and in person.
The final took place simultaneously at four venues:
Russian House in Tashkent (Uzbekistan); KSU Lyceum No. 134 in Almaty (Kazakhstan); IUHD in Ashgabat (Turkmenistan); RUDN University (Moscow, Russia).
This year, the Olympiad generated great interest among schoolchildren: more than 400 people participated in the qualifying rounds, and only the strongest advanced to the finals.
"The Olympiad opens up additional opportunities for the winners: they can earn up to 8 points toward their Unified State Exam scores when applying to RUDN University," says Deniza Berezovskaya, Director of the RUDN University Center for Olympiad and Competitive Initiatives.
The problems for the finals were prepared by professors, associate professors, graduate students, undergraduates, and staff members of the S. M. Nikolsky Institute of Mathematics at RUDN University, in collaboration with the "Mathematics for Promising Youth" scientific development center. Many of the problems were dedicated to Valentine's Day and combined rigorous logic with original plots. The students praised the warm and pleasant atmosphere at the Olympiad, as well as the responsiveness and kindness of the organizers and students who assisted with the competition.
"The problems were good: challenging, but not too difficult, and most importantly, interesting. I especially remember the one about the Valentine's Day cookies. I love math for the excitement that comes from solving problems, so I took part in the Olympiad and plan to apply to university for a physics and mathematics program," said Vladimir Zhuravlev, 10th-grade student, ANO Secondary School "Academic Gymnasium," Moscow.
The RUDN JUNIOR MATH OLYMPIAD annually brings together talented schoolchildren from around the world and helps them take the first step toward a serious scientific career.
