Mathematical Olympiad

The Mathematical Olympiad is a mathematics competition in which young people from all over Switzerland who are enthusiastic about mathematics can exchange ideas and compete against each other. The competition consists of several rounds as well as numerous preparatory meetings and a week-long camp for the finalists. Our goal is to share our enthusiasm for mathematics with young people, to support them intellectually and for them to gain valuable professional and social experience together with their peers. You can read more about the Olympiad here.

Back-to-back golds!

BACK TO BACK! After our first gold medal in 17 years in 2023, we are delighted to win our second consecutive gold medal at the IMO this year with Felix Xu's outstanding showing at the 65th International Mathematical Olympiad in Bath, England. With 30 points, Felix came 29th out of the 600+ contestants. The results in full are:

 

  • Gold: Felix Xu, Kantonsschule Wettingen (AG)
  • Bronze: Mark Neumann, Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliches Gymnasium Rämibühl (ZH)
  • Honourable Mention: Hongjia Meng, Kantonale Mittelschule Uri (UR) 
  • Honourable Mention: Louis Renner, Kantonsschule Menzingen (ZG)
  • Honourable Mention: Eric Lüscher, Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliches Gymnasium Rämibühl (ZH)
  • Honourable Mention: Jovian Soejono, École internationale de Genève (GE)

 

A special mention to the Principality of Liechtenstein and their contestant Leonhard Hasler (Liechtensteinisches Gymnasium), who won an honourable mention as well.

Switzerland came 48th overall, continuing our long streak of finishing in the top 50 countries, and the team will continue to build on this string of outstanding performances, with the three youngest participants all able to continue for at least two more years.
