Although the achievements are not high, these results show the great efforts of the students, teachers from Division of Mathematics, especially the encouragement and support of the University’s Party Committee, the Board of Management for the mission of education and training.
The National Math Olympic Competition is also an opportunity for students who love Maths to explore the connection between mathematics and real life, to express their passion for mathematics. With the results achieved, it is hoped that this will be a great motivating force for the learning movement not only in math but also in all subjects in the whole university.
