CMO – 2020: Day Off

  • 16.03.2020

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.

Caucasus Mathematical Olympiad 2020 – Round II

The second day brought around the next Round and a real chance for the participants to bring the victory home and amaze everyone with their problem-solving powers.

While teenage superheroes were busy seeking answers, their team leaders, CMO guests and university students attended a lecture on compiling Olympiad tasks. The speaker, Nazar Agakhanov, the Chairman of the All-Russian Schoolchildren Mathematics Olympiad, shared quite a few useful tips from personal experience.

The lecture was followed by a panel discussion on the newest and most rewarding preparatory techniques which enable the children participate in Math contests to the best of their abilities.

Round VI - Guess the country by the outline;

Round VII - Guess what is advertised in the poster.

Mathematical Running Maykop

  • 17.03.2019

Today, as a part of the IV Caucasus Mathematical Olympiad Caucasus Mathematical Center at Adyghe State University organized the quest “Mathematical Running Maykop.” One hundred teams 100 teams took part in it, which is twice as many as last year! Among the teams were the participants of the Olympiad, schoolchildren, students, employees of enterprises of the city of Maykop. More than 400 people gathered in the courtyard of the Regional School for Natural Sciences and Mathematics to start the math quest from there. During two and a half hours, the teams needed to visit as many points in the city from the given list as possible and solve as many mathematical problems as possible.

Round II of the Olympiad

  • 17.03.2019

Today was Round II of the Olympiad. As in Round I, participants had to solve four problems in four hours. Many participants found the tasks difficult, but interesting.

“The tasks were difficult. I do not think that I did well, but I solve half of them for sure. This is my first Olympiad of this level, so I'm just glad to be here.” Lada Stafeevskaya, a participant from the Rostov region (Taganrog).

 “My impressions... difficult, but interesting tasks. In my opinion, an interesting task was this one: there are five consecutive numbers, can the LCM be equal to a square? ”. Alexander Klets, a participant from the Krasnodar Territory.
