Chapter 89: National Finals
Two months after the high school started, several students from several classes of the city No. 1 Middle School suddenly disappeared. The teachers who were in charge of this had no objection, and even the students could just assume that this had never happened.
As a forced Wang Fangchao in Class 1 (7) of high school, he also belonged to this ranks. His disappearance attracted cheers from his classmates, and he finally couldn't see him. Of course, they also hope that this group of mysteriously disappearing people could bring back a great news when they return again.
Such a mysterious power comes from the charm of mathematics, and it also comes from the highest level, most large-scale and influential mathematics competition for Chinese middle school students.
In 1985, the Chinese Mathematical Society decided to hold a national mathematical winter camp for middle school students every year since 1986, and later renamed it as Chinese Mathematical Olympics (chinese mathematical olympiad, referred to as cmo).
CMO invites winners in the National High School Mathematics League of provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government, as well as teams such as HK, Macau, Russia, and Singapore to participate. The number of people is about 300. The distribution principle is to at least three people in each province, city and district, and then set up a score line to choose the best.
CMO lasts for 5 days, the first day is the opening ceremony, the second and third day exams, the fourth day academic report or tour, and the fifth day closing ceremony, the examination results and awards are announced.
The top 30 players with the highest score will form the Chinese national training team to participate in the International Mathematical Olympiad (imo) that year. The winners can all be admitted to first-class prestigious universities in the country such as Peking University, Tsinghua University, Fudan University, Nanjing University, China University of Science and Technology, Zhejiang University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, etc.
In the past, CMO did not set up a team award, but in 1990, CMO established the Chen Shengshen Cup team competition.
In previous years, CMO's competition venues were set up at Peking University, Fudan University, Shandong University, Zhejiang University, China University of Science and Technology... etc. This year, CMO's national finals were arranged at Jinling University.
This day.
Fang Chao was in the middle of the top six mathematics geniuses in the province and region.
The top-ranked full-score champion in the province and region of the national junior high school mathematics joint competition is definitely qualified to step on this school bus to compete, which is an exception. Fang Chao's strength level is, even though he has just entered high school, he has already taught himself the mathematics tutorials of all high schools.
At the beginning, Fang Chao will definitely not be much different from these people. It should be said that everyone is on the same starting line. The only thing you can watch now is whether you can win the provincial team team award and individual medals in this national final. This is crucial.
There are three teachers in the team, one of whom is responsible for daily life, eating habits, etc., and even knows some first aid methods to ensure the safety of students in times of crisis.
In previous years, there have been some special symptoms such as myocardial infarction caused by students being too nervous during the exam. Before the ambulance arrived, these teachers played a crucial role.
In addition to this life teacher, the other two teachers have rich experience in leading the team, and their level in mathematics is definitely not low, and they can provide some constructive advice when students need help.
Luo Jianhui, Director Luo!
Chen Baichuan, Director Chen!
Both are academic directors and serve in the Provincial Mathematics Society. They have one to two years of experience in college entrance examination questions. They are definitely old seniors and senior mathematics seniors, above their level, and have also left the black-faced carbon far behind.
Luo Jianhui's face is more like a hippie smile, while Chen Baichuan tends to be more strict, one black and one white, leading the team together, and believes that it can bring a good start to this national final. They also know that in this car, there is also a champion with full marks in the preliminary round of the provincial and regional mathematics league.
Even though this year, they have just participated in the CMO national finals, they believe that those who can get full marks in the preliminary round, even if they have just entered high school and have just been exposed to high school knowledge, have the ability to deal with this national finals.
In this competition, they are bound to be able to win a personal or team award.
In previous years, the team awards were basically won by Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions. There must be one of them in the top three places, and the remaining two places are to compete for such a place in several provinces and regions such as Jiangsu, Anhui, Tianjin, Hubei and other provinces.
As for their provincial capital, they feel distressed, tired, aggrieved, and want to cry. They can hardly get a decent prize in a year. Even the best results are just the fourth in the team, with the silver medal in the individual award.
The team has never entered the top three, and each time they return home in a miserable position after three.
In the individual competition, there are really no outstanding students, but they are just silver medals and no gold medals. Why is this happening? They don’t know, but this is a shame, so they are full of energy every year, hoping to avenge their previous shame, but over time, they gradually become disappointed.
It’s not that rotten wood cannot be carved. These people are very strong. Those who can enter the rankings of provinces and regions will not be fools. It only means that the people in other provinces are too strong.
Especially they heard that there was a particularly strong genius in the high school of Nangang No. 2 Middle School. His surname was Shen, who was very mighty and powerful, and his strength level was the highest in history. He surpassed the genius in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and wanted to win the first place in the finals.
As for the first-place talented player in their province and region this year, if he faces such an opponent, will he have a chance of winning?
It’s unclear, they don’t have much hope, everything is left to fate.
Apart from this, there is one of the students of Jinling University, Lu Shen, who should not be underestimated and is very powerful. Fortunately, he has already entered university and has not been able to participate in the National High School Mathematics League. Otherwise, with the existence of two great gods Lu Shen and Shen Shen, they will not talk about the silver medals in the individual competition, and whether they will be beaten is one of their concerns.
However, the special existence of Jinling University, Lu Shen, also made Jinling University famous. Lu Shen not only made some contributions to Jinling University, but also made great contributions to social progress.
