Greek students shine at International Math Olympiad with six medals

·

Six Greek high school students excelled at the 65th International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) held in Bath from July 11-22, securing a gold, two silver, and three bronze medals, as announced by the Hellenic Mathematical Society (HMS).

According to amna.gr, the competition saw participation from 108 countries, featuring 609 high school competitors, including 81 female participants, according to the IMO site. The first math Olympiad, which changes location annually, took place in 1959 in Romania with seven countries participating.

The six Greek students were selected through a national math competition organized by the Society since 1934. This year’s competition involved 12,000 contestants from high schools across Greece. The winning team included students from the following schools: Moraitis (1 gold); Elliniki Paideia and 3rd General High School of Pyrgos in the Peloponnese (2 silver); Anavryta, Experimental School of the University of Thessaloniki, and General High School of Kanithos in Evia (3 bronze).

The team was led by HMS President and Professor Emeritus at the National Technical University of Athens, Anargyros Fellouris, and University of Crete Assistant Professor Silouanos Brazitikos.

“The Hellenic Mathematical Society prepares and supports the efforts of these students, always on a voluntary basis, in the context of its aim to upgrade mathematical education and training in Greece,” the Society said, congratulating the students and thanking the Ministry of Education & Religions for its contribution.
