The biggest mathematical event of the year in Adygea is over. For five days and two rounds almost 200 teenage mathematicians from fourteen regions and nine countries proved to themselves and others their worth, strength, determination and mathematical prowess. Their works were written, examined and discussed at length.

It’s not only about competition – the two leagues (Grades 7-9, and 10-11) enjoyed a wide range of extra-curricular activities fit to suit every taste.

Today’s Closing Ceremony included the awards medals, diplomas and certificates to the brightest young minds of the Caucasus Mathematical Olympiad – 2020.

Junior League winners (First prize-holders):

After two whole days filled with problems – mathematical ones, of course – our young champions were entitled to a change of scene. It did not imply boredom . On the contrary, the children had a very busy schedule to follow.

• Morning lectures with Professors Savvateev and Andreev charmed the sleep away from our young charges and introduced them to the beauty of Mathematics;
• An outing to the movies with friends at the «IKOCinema»;
• Lecture by Elena Bryzgalina about soft- and hard skills in higher education;
• Adyghe dancing club;

And, of course, a disco night. And, trust me, these teenagers do know how to party.  What does tomorrow have in store? Can’t tell you, but you don’t want to miss it.

The second day signified knowledge and hard work to the CMO participants.

The first round of the Olympiad went on in ASU’s third academic building.  Soon the schoolchildren will find out their preliminary scores. But right now, scientific adventures await:

Nikolay Andreev, a renowned Russian mathematician and CMO Jury member fascinated everyone with the intricacies of Mathematics and Music;

Andrey Raygorodskiy – author of over two hundred research articles and the recipient of 2011 Presidential Award instructed his audience on the criteria of choosing national Mathematics team worthy of world championships and the absolute necessity of popularizing the scientific wonder that is Mathematics.

Today ended the IV Caucasus Mathematical Olympiad, which hosted over 140 participants from 15 regions of southern Russia and 10 foreign countries.

During two rounds, young mathematicians solved problems and discussed their results together with the jury.

In addition to the competitive part, the program of the Olympiad included a diverse leisure program: games, the Adyghe dance club, a guitar evening, a disco, the Adyghe culture night, where participants tried Adyghe dishes. Participants visited the National Museum of the Republic of Adygea, the Cave of Nezhnaya and Pchelinaya.
