Big success
As the Hellenic Mathematical Society notes in its announcement, the students who participated in the Olympiad emerged, as every year, through the Panhellenic Mathematical Competition organized by the Hellenic Mathematical Society since 1934, in the first phase of which 12,000 students from all over the world participated. Hellas.
“The Hellenic Mathematical Society prepares and supports the efforts of these students, always on a voluntary basis, in the context of its objectives of modernizing Mathematical Education and Training in our country.
The Hellenic Mathematical Society congratulates all the students of the Greek team for their great success.
The contribution of the Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs to this entire effort was important”, highlights the Company’s statement.
