Mathematical Olympiad - Award ceremony in the House of Science

At the beginning of this week, the award ceremony at the Haus der Wissenschaft concluded the Bremen-related part of the Mathematical Olympiad. A good 200 students and parents accepted the invitation. Prof. Dr. Thorsten Dickhaus, Vice Dean of the Faculty 3 Mathematics and Computer Science, was thus able to present the University of Bremen to an interested and suitably qualified audience. He not only very skillfully addressed the study opportunities that lie in the future for the students, but also presented what directly appeals to students from grade 5 onwards: the Children's University, the Matelier or the Researcher Days.


There were some remarkable talents at the award ceremony. How wonderful to see that an award for motivation and commitment to mathematics is so well received. The Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Bremen promotes and supports this competition in many ways.

 

About the Mathematical Olympiad

The Mathematical Olympiad is a competition aimed at particularly good pupils from the 3rd grade onwards and its appeal lies in the fact that it leads to an international comparison (International Mathematical Olympiad IMO), in which around 100 countries now send teams of six. The aim of the competition is to promote mathematical skills and creativity and to give pupils an opportunity to compete with other talented math fans. The best participants qualify for the next round of the competition, eventually reaching the national or even international level.
