Assoc. Prof. Dr. Doan Trung Cuong, Vice President and General Secretary of the Vietnam Mathematical Society and head of the organizing committee for the 30th Mathematical Olympiad for university and high school students, said: "Now and in the future, you study and work in hundreds and thousands of different fields, but you all have your qualities and a passion for mathematics. I believe that your knowledge of mathematics and this passion will be truly advantageous in your careers and in your lives.
After your teachers equipped you with knowledge of mathematics, the next question is how to use this knowledge. With a wide-open future in an era of rapid development in science & technology, and especially in digital technology, I believe each of you will find your answers. I hope you can confidently apply mathematics to your fields, and become ambassadors for mathematics in your communities.
The 30th National Mathematical Olympiad for university and high school students was held online with on-site supervision from March 15 to 17 while the university category was held in person at DTU from April 8 to 13. The university category saw participation from 95 universities and institutes, accounting for about 20% of universities in Vietnam. A total of 699 university students sat 807 Algebra and Calculus tests, divided into two groups, A and B, with 36 and 59 institutions respectively. The high school category counted 400 students from 46 schools.
