Chapter Eighty-Nine: The National Finals
Two months after the start of the high school year, several students from several classes in the city No. 1 middle school suddenly disappeared, and the teacher in charge of the class had no problem with it, even if the students pretended that it had not happened.
As a senior high school class (seventh), Wang Fangchao also belongs to this ranks, and his disappearance attracted cheers from his classmates, and he was finally gone. Of course, at the same time, they also hope that this group of mysteriously disappeared people will bring back a great piece of good news when they return.
Such a mysterious force comes from the charm of mathematics, and it also comes from the highest-level, largest-scale and most influential mathematics competition for middle school students in China.
In 1985, at the initiative of Peking University, Nankai University, Fudan University and the University of Science and Technology of China, the Chinese Mathematical Society decided to hold a national mathematics winter camp for middle school students every year since 1986, and later changed its name to Chinese Mathematical Olympiad (CMO).
The CMO invites the winners of the National High School Mathematics League from all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, as well as teams from HK, Macau, Russia, Singapore and other countries to participate, with about 300 people.
The CMO lasts for 5 days, the first day is the opening ceremony, the second and third days are exams, the fourth day is an academic report or visit, and the fifth day is the closing ceremony, where the exam results are announced and awards are awarded.
The top 30 players with the highest scores will form the Chinese national training team to participate in the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) that year. The winners can be admitted to Peking University, Tsinghua University, Fudan University, Nanjing University, University of Science and Technology of China, Zhejiang University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University and other first-class universities in China.
In the past, CMOs did not have team awards, but in 1990, CMOs established the Chern-Case-Buying Cup team competition.
In previous years, CMOs were held at Peking University, Fudan University, Shandong University, Zhejiang University, and University of Science and Technology of China...... This year, the CMO national finals were arranged at Jinling University.
this day.
The top six mathematical geniuses in the province stepped on the shuttle bus to Jinling University, and Fang Chao was in the middle of it.
The winner of the first place in the provincial and regional full score of the National Junior High School Mathematics Joint Competition is definitely qualified to step on this school bus to compete, which is also an exception, and Fang Chao's strength level, even if he has just stepped into high school, he has already taught himself all the high school mathematics courses.
In terms of starting, Fang Chao will definitely not be much behind these people, and it should even be said that everyone is on the same starting line, the only thing that can be seen now is whether he can win the provincial team team award and individual medals in this national finals, which is very important.
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, which can ensure the safety of students in times of crisis.
In previous years, it was not uncommon for students to have special symptoms such as myocardial infarction caused by being too nervous during exams, and these teachers played a crucial role before the ambulance arrived.
In addition to this life teacher, the other two teachers have a wealth of experience in leading teams, and at the same time, their level in mathematics is definitely not low, and they can provide some constructive suggestions when students need help.
Luo Jianhui, Luo Dao!
Chen Baichuan, Director Chen!
Both of them are academic directors, serving in the Provincial Mathematics Society, and both have one to two years of experience in college entrance examination questions.
Luo Jianhui's face is biased towards a hippie smile, while Chen Baichuan is more inclined to the stern side, one black and one white, leading the team together, I believe that it can bring a good start to the national finals, and they also know that in this car, there is also a champion of the provincial mathematics league with a perfect score in the preliminary round.
Even if they have just participated in the CMO national finals this year, they believe that those who can get full marks in the preliminary round will have the ability to cope with this national final, even if they have just stepped into high school and just come into contact with high school knowledge.
This time, they are imperative! It is necessary to come back with an individual award or a team award.
In previous years, the team award was basically won by Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the top three places must have one of them, and the remaining two places are in Jiangsu, Anhui, Tianjin, Hubei and other provinces and regions to compete for such a place.
As for their provincial capital, they are distressed, tired, aggrieved, and want to cry, and they can hardly get a decent award back in a year, even if the best result is only the fourth in the team and the silver medal in the individual award.
The team has never entered the top three, and each time it has been in the back of the third.
In the individual competition, there are really no particularly outstanding students, but the best is only a silver medal, not a single gold medal, why is this happening? They don't know, but this is a shame, so they are full of energy every year, hoping to be able to get rid of the shame, but after a long time, they will slowly become disappointed.
It's not that rotten wood can't be carved, these people are very strong, and those who can enter the provincial rankings are not fools, it can only show that people from other provinces are too strong.
In particular, they heard that there was a particularly strong genius in the high school of Nangang No. 2 Middle School, surnamed Shen, very powerful, very powerful, and the strength level pointed to the highest level in the past, surpassing the genius in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and wanted to get the first place in the finals.
With the talented player who ranked first in their province this year, if they face such an opponent, is there a chance of winning?
It's not clear, they don't have much hope, everything is left to fate.
In addition to this, it is said that among the students of Jinling University, there is a Lu Shen, who should not be underestimated, very powerful, fortunately, he has entered the university and has no chance to participate in the competition of the National High School Mathematics League, otherwise, there are two great gods of Lu Shen and Shen Shen, not to mention the silver medal in the individual competition, whether he will be beaten is one thing they care about.
However, Jinling University has a special existence of Lu Shen, which has also made Jinling University famous, and Lu Shen has not only contributed to Jinling University, but also made great contributions to the progress of society.
