Congress of World Federation of National Mathematics Competitions

The work of the Congress will be supervised by Prof. Maria Falk de Losada, the President of WFNMC, and International Program Committee (co-chairs Prof. Alexander Soifer, University of Colorado, and Prof. Agnis Andžāns, University of Latvia). The congress will be organized at University of Latvia, in its central building (Rainis boul. 19) and in the campus of Faculty of Physics and Mathematics (Zeļļu Street 8). The work of the congress will concentrate around 4 central topics:

1. A bridge between research mathematics / theoretical computer science and competitions.
2. Competition problems and methods of their solution.
3. Types and organization of the competitions.
4. Preparation of students and teachers.

We see broad areas where the suggestions of people from computer science could be valuable and thought-provoking, e.g., can we use problems the solutions of which employ databases? may be the fifth area "algorithmics" along with algebra, geometry, combinatorics and number theory should be introduced? etc. In the area of each topic short communications, plenary lectures and workshops will be organized.

Official conference language is English.
