Traditionally, at the end of spring, the final round of the All-Ukrainian Mathematical Olympiad is held among technical and economic institutions of higher education of Ukraine. This year, it was held on the basis of Sumy State University for the fifth time. From May 16 till May 18, more than 90 best students from 32 leading technical institutions of Ukraine competed in Sumy.
As in the previous years, our university was represented by two teams: in the category "M" (students of those specialties requiring deep study of mathematics) and in the category "T" (students of technical specialties). Members of the KPI team were the winners and prize-winners of the I stage of the All-Ukrainian Olympiad, which was held in March by the Department of Mathematical Analysis and Probability Theory. Co-workers of the department became the team leaders - associate professor I.V.Orlovsky (on the photo - left) and assistant A.V. Syrotenko (on the photo - right).
Our students performed well in Sumy:
- in the category "T" the diploma of the first degree was received by O.Mishyn (FIOT, 2nd year);
- in the category "M" the diploma of the second degree was received by V. Shram (IASA, 4th year).
In addition, V. Shram and O. Sainoga (IASA, 3rd year) were awarded the diplomas of the jury for the 2nd place in the category "M", O.Mishyn for the 1st place in the category "T", V.Pesternikov (FIOT, 1st year) for the 2nd place in the category "T" and O. Myrgorodsky (FIOT, 1st year) for the 3rd place in the category "T".
An important role in the preparation and attraction of talented young people to the Olympiad activity is played by the student group "Nonstandard and Olympiad Problems of Algebra and Analysis", which is working at the Department of Mathematical Analysis and Probability Theory for many years. The group is led by associate professors of the department, A.B. Ilienko and I.V.Orlovsky, and classes are conducted by young teachers of the department. During the classes they teach students to think extraordinarily and prepare them for successful performances at mathematical olympiads.
Congratulations to the winners of the All-Ukrainian Mathematical Olympiad 2018! We wish them further success in studying, scientific work and in the performances at the high level Olympiads!
