Nordic Mathematical Team Contest 2016

The seventh Nordic Mathematical Team Contest for university students (NMTC) will be take place between 28th of September and 2nd of October.

The participants in this team-based competition should be Bachelor's or Master's level students in Nordic universities. Faculty in these universities are asked to encourage and support the participation of able students. There is no fee for participation, but teams are required to register.

Participating teams will solve a set of mathematical problems at their own institutions during 4.5 days and submit the solutions by e-mail. The level of the problems will be chosen so as to provide even the most able of students with sufficient challenge.

For an appreciation of the kind of problems possible we recommend you to have a look at the problems from the International Mathematics Competition for University Students and previous year's competitions.

Winners

It seems we have a clear winner in the Nordic Mathematical Team Contest, the Helsinki (O. Heinävaara) team with a perfect 100 score!  Second comes KTH (S. Zackrisson) with 91 points and third Copenhagen (F. Ravn Klausen) with 89 points.

The jury congratulates the winners. We hope you all enjoyed the contest and wish you back next year, when the contest will hopefully take place again.
