Student Zhuoyu Du, who will be in Year 10 at Herman-Böse-Gymnasium after the summer vacation, has been nominated for the German team in the "Baltic Way" mathematics competition. The challenging competition, in which countries bordering the Baltic Sea and several other Nordic countries take part, will be held this year from November 14 to 18 in Tartu, Estonia.

Due to geographical restrictions, only students from the coastal federal states are eligible for the five-strong German team. Zhuoyu qualified for the competition thanks to her outstanding performance in the national round of the Mathematical Olympiad, in which she has taken part for the past three years. Zhuoyu is the second student from Bremen in the 35-year history of this competition to make the German team, underlining her exceptional mathematical talent.
