Starting Early in Mathematics
Brazilian Mathematical Olympiad for Public Schools
As part of Brazil’s mathematics Biennium, focused on improving mathematics across the country, students took part in the Brazilian Mathematical Olympiad for Public Schools. A select group of medalists were invited to the 2018 International Congress of Mathematicians in Rio de Janeiro – after a lecture on the geometry of snowflakes from Étienne Ghys we found out how they’re getting on. We also chatted to Olympiad coordinator and IMPA Deputy Director Claudio Landim.
