All Vietnamese students at World Mathematics Invitational 2023 win prizes
VOV.VN - All 34 Vietnamese students have won one diamond, six gold, nine silver, 12 bronze, and seven consolation prizes at the World Mathematics Invitational (WMI) 2023 competition in Seoul, the Republic of Korea.
The event running from July 14 to 18 drew the participation of 3,000 candidates from 25 countries and territories worldwide.
The Vietnamese contestants mainly hailed from primary and secondary schools in Hoan Kiem district of Hanoi.
Dang Anh Tuan, an eighth grader from the Trung Vuong secondary school, won a special cup “The Star of the World”, which is awarded to the diamond prize winner with the highest score.
The WMI was first held in 2018, gathering together institutes and organisations worldwide that make efforts in promoting and popularising mathematics. However, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic the WMI final round was organised virtually from 2020 to 2022.
Through interacting with other math-loving students representing their own countries, students can further expand their worldview, experience different cultures, thereby opening their horizons, as well as broadening their future.
Vietnam has sent contestants to the competition since 2019. In their first participation, 32 Vietnamese students all won awards in the final round which took place in Fukuoka, Japan.
