After Round I of the Olympiad, the participants met with the Head of the Caucasus Mathematical Center of the Adyghe State University (CMC ASU), Director of School of Applied Mathematics and Computer Sciences at Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) Andrei Raigorodsky and the research advisor of the CMC ASU, the rector of the University Dmitry Pozharsky Professor MIPT Alexei Savvateev. The topic of the meeting was “About math in a fun and interesting way.”

In an interactive manner, Alexei Savvateev talked about the exponent, after which Andrei Raigorosdky continued the topic and showed that the exponent is a transcendental number. The meeting ended with arguments about diophantine approximations.

This morning, Round I of the Olympiad took place, during which young mathematicians from 15 regions of Southern Russia and 10 foreign countries were asked to solve four problems.

As in previous years, in 2019, the Caucasus Mathematical Olympiad is held in two leagues:

 - Junior League:  students of Grades 8-9 in the Russian Federation and the corresponding grades in participating countries;

 - Senior league:  students of Grades 10-11 in the Russian Federation and the corresponding grades in participating countries.

The list of Russian students invited by the Coordination council to participate in the Olympiad has been published on our website.

The lists were sent to the regional departments of education. All participants can confirm their participation via email before March 7, 2019.

All participants arrive at the Olympiad as a part of the delegation of their region. The delegation consists of students and a team leader.  

On March 15-20, Maykop hosted III Caucasus Mathematical Olympiad. There were 91 participants from 15 regions of the South of Russia and four foreign countries.

The goal of the Olympiad is to create a cultural and educational space that unites regions of Southern Russia and countries of the Caucasus region and the Black Sea, to form and strengthen friendships among school children who are interested in Math from Russia and other countries.
