Dr. Reimund Albers from Faculty 3 is the state representative for the Mathematical Olympiad in Bremen and has been promoting the competition for many years. Bremen took part with a team of 10 - the best 10 from grades 8 to 12. The Bremen team came second three times. Prizes. These are great achievements, because you have to be in the top fifth of the participants to win them. In addition to two prizes won by students from the 9th grade, one achievement is particularly noteworthy: Huaiyi Guo competed in the 8th grade and won a 2nd prize there - he is actually in the 6th grade.

The picture of the Bremen team shows the actual students as well as the correctors and delegation leaders. You can see:

Young and talented young mathematicians are needed more than ever. Mathematics plays a fundamental role in industrial research and development as well as in the world of finance and business. Many aspects of our daily lives would look completely different or not exist at all without mathematics.

In a world increasingly characterized by complex problems and challenges, the importance of the Mathematical Olympiad cannot be denied. Young people are encouraged to develop and unfold their mathematical skills, to take up the challenge of solving complex mathematical problems independently.

Congratulations from Faculty 3!
