This competition is open to undergraduates who have not obtained a bachelor's degree from universities in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. It focuses on the basic knowledge and skills of mathematics in the undergraduate stage.
Registration
1.Individual competition
The competition is divided into
six subjects: Geometry and topology, Algebra and Number Theory, Probability and
statistics, Applied and Computational Mathematics, Analysis and partial
differential equations and Math Physics. Each student can
register for multiple subjects (1-6).
2. Team Tournament
Six students from the same college or
university form a team to participate in six subjects: Geometry and topology,
Algebra and Number Theory, Probability and statistics, Applied and
Computational Mathematics, Analysis and partial differential equations，and mathematical physics. One
team member is responsible for each of the 6 subjects, and each team member is
only allowed to represent the team in one subject.
Students who sign up for the team competition must sign up for the individual competition first.
