7/21/2019 WASHINGTON, DC - The U.S. team tied for first place with China at the 60th International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) which was held in Bath, United Kingdom on July 11-22, 2019. The six U.S. team members also won gold medals for their individual high scores on the olympiad, known as the world championship mathematics competition for high school students. The U.S. team also placed first at the IMO in 2015, 2016 and 2018. The IMO brings together the top math students from more than 110 countries and territories to compete each year and 643 students competed this year. The winning U.S. team score was 227 out of a possible 252 points.  The 2019 U.S. International Mathematical Olympiad team is: Vincent Huang, Luke Robitaille, Colin Tang, Edward Wan, Brandon Wang, and Daniel Zhu. Huang is a returning team member from 2017 and 2018. “The Mathematical Association of America is proud to congratulate the students who competed in the International Mathematical Olympiad for the United States of America on their first place finish in the challenging math competition,” said Michael Pearson, executive director of the Mathematical Association of America. “We are proud to organize the U.S. IMO team through the MAA American Mathematics Competitions that strengthens the nation’s mathematical problem solvers. In this competition and their future endeavors, these students will help achieve our vision of a society that values the power and beauty of mathematics and fully realizes its potential to promote human flourishing.” Students qualify for the U.S. IMO team by participating in a series of competitions provided by the Mathematical Association of America’s competitions program, called the MAA American Mathematics Competitions (AMC). Approximately 300,000 students worldwide participate in the MAA American Mathematics Competitions each year which leads the nation in strengthening the mathematical capabilities of the next generation of problem solvers. The six U.S. team members joined 65 of their peers from the United States and seven other countries at MAA AMC’s Mathematical Olympiad Program in June to immerse themselves in problem solving and train for the IMO and other international competitions including the European Girls’ Mathematical Olympiad where the U.S. team, also organized by MAA, won first place in April.

The team was accompanied by leader Po-Shen Loh, associate professor of mathematics at Carnegie Mellon University, and deputy leader Yang Liu, graduate student at Stanford University. IMO scores are based on the number of points scored by individual team members on six problems. On each day of the two-day competition, the teams have 4.5 hours to work on three problems.

The six U.S. team members, Vincent Huang (a returning member from 2017 and 2018), Luke Robitaille, Colin Tang, Edward Wan, Brandon Wang and Daniel Zhu also won gold medals for their individual high scores in the Olympiad, known as the world championship mathematics competition for high school students. The U.S. team is coached by Carnegie Mellon University Associate Professor of Mathematical Sciences Po-Shen Loh. Under Loh’s leadership, the team also placed first at the IMO in 2015, 2016 and 2018.  Offering serious and challenging mathematics to intellectually gifted students  Each year, the six members of the team make their final preparations for the IMO at Carnegie Mellon’s Pittsburgh campus at the Mathematical Association of America’s Mathematical Olympiad Summer Program (MAA’s MOP), where they train with some of the world’s best high school math students. "These high school students become more and more impressive each year, often already coming with knowledge that I myself only encountered in graduate school. It is an honor to have the opportunity to serve as a guide as they learn how to turn their skills into impact," Loh said. Approximately 80 students are invited to MOP on the basis of their exceptional performance on national and international Math Olympiad competitions, and top-finishing countries are invited to send two of their top students. Funded by the Benter Foundation, the Allegheny Foundation, CMU’s President’s Office and the Hillman Foundation through the Henry L. Hillman President's Chair, and CMU’s Department of Mathematical Sciences, the addition of international students gives MOP participants the chance for a multi-cultural experience similar to what the IMO team encounters at the competition.  This year, Carnegie Mellon had a few additional connections to the competition. One of the six problems on the IMO was authored by recent mathematical sciences graduate David Altizio, who will begin his Ph.D. in mathematics at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign this fall. Additionally, two members of international IMO teams will begin their studies at Carnegie Mellon this fall in the Department of Mathematical Sciences. Howard Halim, a member of the Canadian IMO team, will start his undergraduate degree and Ting-Wei Chao, one of the assistant coaches for Taiwan's IMO team, will begin his Ph.D. “The Mathematical Association of America is proud to congratulate the students who competed in the International Mathematical Olympiad for the United States of America on their first-place finish in the challenging math competition,” said Michael Pearson, executive director of the Mathematical Association of America. “We are proud to organize the U.S. IMO team through the MAA American Mathematics Competitions that strengthen the nation’s mathematical problem-solvers. In this competition and their future endeavors, these students will help achieve our vision of a society that values the power and beauty of mathematics and fully realizes its potential to promote human flourishing.” The United States of America will host the 62nd International Mathematical Olympiad in 2021 in Washington, D.C., and it will be organized by the Mathematical Association of America.
國際奧數賽 美6人隊5華生 與中並列冠軍 (World Journal) 記者金春香／紐約報導  在英國舉辦的第60屆國際數學奧林匹克競賽(International Mathematical Olympiad)上，美國隊再登巔峰，與中國隊並列第一；19日出爐的團體賽成績中，六人隊伍中有五名華裔隊員的美國隊，以227分奪得冠軍，比上一屆總成績高出15分，五年來第四次奪冠，六名隊員全部憑藉傑出的個人優秀成績獲得個人金牌。 每年的國際數學奧林匹克競賽，都有超過110個國家和地區的高中學生參加，今年共有643名學生同台競技，滿分為252分，美國隊和中國隊以227分成績並列第一，中國隊同樣獲得六枚金牌；季軍由韓國隊以226分獲得，隊員也獲得六枚金牌；殿軍則為北韓隊，總分為187分，獲得三金三銀。與美國隊並列第一的中國隊，有兩人獲得滿分。 Principal,  Tel: (301)906-6889; (240)912-6290 Licensed in MD, VA, DC, WV, PA, DE, NC, SC, FL WeChat ID: sunnychenyuqing NMLS # 1220187 美國隊六名隊員分別為德州賈斯帕中學(Jasper High School)的黃文森(Vincent Huang，姓名皆音譯)、馬里蘭州蒙哥馬利布萊爾高中(Montgomery Blair HS)的朱丹尼(Daniel Zhu)、華盛頓州湖邊學校(Lakeside School)的唐善墨(Colin Shanmo Tang)、波多黎各聖約翰學校(Saint John's School)的萬愛德(Edward Wan)、加州薩拉度加高中(Saratoga High School)的王布蘭登(Brandon Wang)，以及德州Robitaille Home School的Luke Robitaille。 黃文森已經連續第三年參加國際奧數賽，2017年獲得銀牌，2018年獲金牌，今年再獲一枚金牌；朱丹尼和唐善墨則獲得滿分成績。 美國隊今年再由卡內基梅隆大學(Carnegie Mellon Univeristy)數學系華裔教授羅博深(Po-Shen Loh)任主教練，在他帶領下，美國隊此前在2015、2016和2018年已三獲國際奧數賽冠軍。 羅博深20日在英國接受本報記者越洋訪問時表示，本次比賽中六名美國隊員表現都極佳，這離不開他們平日的積累和對數學學習的熱情；而對於人們對於亞裔普遍數學成績好的偏見，羅博深認為這是一種有傷害性的看法；他說，無論族裔，只要有興趣、肯下功夫，誰都可以學好，他也鼓勵所有族裔學生通過學習數學開發自身智力潛能。 在威斯康辛州長大的羅博深表示，上世紀90年代第一次聽說全國和國際數學比賽時，感到很驚奇，「我經常聽說那些激發上百萬人挑戰自身體能、發掘潛力的體育比賽，而我從沒想過我個人能夠參加國際奧數比賽，這個比賽對我和全世界數以萬計的學生來說就像燈塔一般。」他希望所有參賽者通過比賽在智力上挑戰自我。 卡內基梅隆大學今年也與國際奧數比賽有不淺淵源，比賽中六個問題中的一個由該大學數學系畢業生David Altizio出題。 奧數比賽的成績基於每個隊伍中每個人解決六個問題的正確與否，在兩天的比賽中，隊伍在每天擁有四個半小時解決三個問題。 美國數學協會(Mathematical Association of America)執行會長培生(Michael Pearson)表示，相信隊員們在這場比賽和他們之後遇到的挑戰中，能夠幫助美國達成注重數學力量和美感的社會願景，讓大家意識到數學能夠促進人類社會的繁榮發展。 每年國際奧數賽，美國隊的選拔都競爭激烈，全美學生須參加美國數學聯賽(American Mathematics Competitions)，30萬人中約有1萬人晉級到美國數學邀請賽(AIME)，其中約500人可進入美國初級奧數競賽(USAJMO)，然後從中篩選出約60人進入集訓營，經過幾輪奧數專業的考試測評和美國奧數競賽(USAMO)，最後選出六人參加國際奧數比賽。 美國將於2021年在華府作為東道主舉辦第62屆國際奧數比賽，由美國數學協會擔任主辦機構。 |  Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning weekly classes (ONLINE)  Quality Tutoring  ALL-IN-ONE ONLINE REGISTRATION SOFTWARE            Principal, Tel: (301)906-6889; (240)912-6290 Licensed in MD, VA, DC, WV, PA, DE, NC, SC, FL WeChat ID: sunnychenyuqing NMLS # 1220187 President, Principal Loan Consultant, Leader Funding, Inc.  电话: (240) 784-6645 Rockville, MD Phone: 301-366-3497  |
