On June 10, the 2022 Alibaba Global Mathematics Competition announced the final list. A total of 715 people from more than 50,000 applicants were shortlisted for the finals, with a promotion rate of 1.3%. According to the information filled in by the players, more than 40% of the seats in the “finals” were occupied by “post-00s”.
The preliminaries were held in April, with a total score of 100 points, a qualifying line of 35 points, and a maximum score of 97 points. It was created by a “post-00” player from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The finalists graduated or studied in 171 schools in 21 countries, covering more than half of the top 100 universities in the world for mathematics. (118) and Ph.D. (169), the number of middle school students has doubled compared to last year.
The 23-year-old official association is from Jiangxi Institute of Applied Science and Technology. He used to love to play games. He brought the spirit of “upgrading” into his mathematics research, “falling in love with mathematics and putting down his mobile phone.” This is the second time to participate in this year. He played the card and got the final ticket with 42 points. Wang Runqiu from the Department of Mathematics of Jiangsu University immediately posted after receiving the promotion email, “Finally, I made 1% of the questions once, and I am lucky to compete with math masters from all over the world.” He has participated in many international mathematics competitions. The Vietnamese contestant Nguyen signed up for the Ali Global Mathematics Competition for the first time. He found that “Asai” was a test of research and innovation ability, which fascinated him.
The British mathematician Hardy once asserted that mathematics is more of a young man’s game than any other art or science. The young faces in the finals of “Asai” really make people feel the heroic spirit of “mathematical teenagers”. However, Li Bei, a member of the organizing committee of the competition, said that in the world of mathematics, “boxing is afraid of young people” is not a rule, and many scientists achieve their peak personal achievements in middle age or even later. For the majority of mathematics enthusiasts , Enjoying mathematics is a lifelong pleasure.
“Heroes don’t ask where they come from”, this global competition with no entry threshold, has discovered mathematics enthusiasts from the age of 8 to 80, including professionals, retirees, and non-mathematics professionals, their “mathematical combat power” The spirit of enjoying the competition is not inferior to that of the “mathematical teenager”. The contestants who appeared in the “final circle” this time include medical and health workers, cultural security workers and other professionals.
It is reported that the final will be held from 8:00 to 24:00 on June 18, Beijing time, with a duration of 16 hours. The contestants can choose to answer the questions online for 8 consecutive hours according to their respective time zones. The questions are divided into five tracks: Algebra and Number Theory, Geometry and Topology, Analysis and Equations, Applied and Computational Mathematics, Combination and Probability.
The Alibaba Global Mathematics Competition has been held for four times so far, and nearly 200,000 people from all over the world have enthusiastically participated. The organizer expressed the hope that every mathematics enthusiast can enjoy mathematics, with happiness first and competition second. It also hopes that all sectors of society will pay more attention to mathematics and support mathematical research.
