SPECIAL GUEST: Róbert Freud
Róbert Freud participated to the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) in 1964 and has been for 40 years a trainer for mathematical competitions.
Alexandre Benoist
In high school, I participated in several mathematics competitions. It allowed me to develop my reasoning skills and realize that I was able to find sophisticated solutions to challenging problems. I made friends with people who also share my passion for mathematics.
Anne Fisch
Participating in mathematics competitions, showed me that tackling more challenging math questions requires far more creativity than what I had learned in school. Moreover there's a unique sense of satisfaction and joy that comes from finally figuring out the solution to a problem after spending some time working it through.
Simon Lemal
In high school, I took part in several olympiads and met wonderful people. That's when I discovered how satisfying it can be to finally solve a hard problem after hours of thinking. That amazing feeling has definitely shaped choices of studies and career!
Thierry Meyrath
At the Scienteens Lab, one of our main goals is to arouse young people's interest for mathematics. By joining the Maths Team I hope to make a further contribution to motivating pupils for this beautiful subject!
Leolin Nkuete
Since high school, I’ve been deeply fascinated by mathematics, especially because it sparks creativity and opens the mind to endless possibilities. The problem-solving nature of math allows me to approach challenges from various angles. This passion for mathematics has not only shaped my analytical skills but also enhanced my ability to tackle complex situations, both in academics and in life.
Antigona Pajaziti
In 6th grade my math teacher signed my name for a math competition. That was the time I discovered that I enjoy finding solutions to challenging math problems. Preparing for math competitions helped me improving my problem-solving skills as well as managing time under pressure.
Antonella Perucca Maths Team Leader
Because of mathematical contests I have met amazing people, and discovered a whole new world... I was also better prepared for University tests and for challenges in general. I would do it again, anytime!
Tim Seuré
Like doing mathematics in general, solving maths olympiad questions enhances rigorous and creative thinking. Besides, finding elegant solutions leaves the solver with a rewarding feeling of pride — this is highly addictive!
Kate Vokes
I was fortunate in having the opportunity to participate in mathematical competitions and workshops as a high school student and I had a lot of fun. I think this was the main influence in my becoming so interested in mathematics that I decided to go and study maths at university.
Gabor Wiese
When I was at school, I loved to play with mathematics. But it was only at the university that I got challenging problems, and truly learnt to appreciate the beauty of mathematics. I hope to help some pupils have fun with mathematics.
