Thursday, 10 August 2023 FAMNIT students once again successful at the 30th International Student Mathematical Competition (IMC)

At the end of July, the 30th International Mathematics Competition for University Students (IMC) took place in Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria. The competition brought together more than 400 students from numerous universities worldwide to showcase their mathematical knowledge and problem-solving skills.  

Traditionally were part of the competition also UP FAMNIT students, who together with their team leader Blas Fernández from the Department of Mathematics, faced all the challenges presented by the competition.

This time, the University of Primorska (UP FAMNIT) was represented by Dren Neziri (a 2nd-year student of the Mathematics) and Diar Gashi (a 3rd-year student of the Mathematics), who received an honorable mention, and Yllkë Jashari (a 1st-year student of the Mathematics) and Dmytro Tupkalenko (a 1st-year student of the Mathematics), who received a certificate of achievement. 

The IMC spanned two days of intense mathematical examinations. Each day, participants were tasked with solving five exercises, with each exercise proposed by different team leaders. On the second day of the competition, a particular problem proposed by Slobodan Filipovski from the University of Primorska, was selected for the participants to tackle. 

The competition exercises covered a wide range of mathematical topics, testing not only the students' depth of knowledge but also their creativity, logical thinking, and problem-solving abilities.  

The competition was organized under the auspices of University College London and hosted by the American University in Bulgaria. 

We congratulate our students for their achievements and wish them a lot of success in their future endeavours!
