Friends who want to study abroad or are interested in Canadian education will be familiar with the University of Waterloo, which is known as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Canada.

The University of Waterloo, founded in 1957, is famous for its cooperative education between production and learning, and pays equal attention to learning and practice. For five years in a row, it ranked first and second in the ranking of McLean, the most authoritative educational magazine in Canada. From 20 1 1 to 20 13, the university has been rated as the third comprehensive university in Canada by McLean magazine and one of the best universities in North America. Its teaching level in mathematics, computer science and engineering is among the highest in the world, among which computer science, the dominant major, ranks 18 in the us news 20 17 World University Rankings.

The University of Waterloo has the only school of mathematics in Canada and the largest school of mathematics in North America and even the world. There are a variety of internationally popular majors in the college, which can receive applications from/kloc-0.05 million students worldwide every year, but only/kloc-0.00 students can be admitted. Faced with a large number of applicants, in order to evaluate students' mathematical ability with objective and fair standards, the University of Waterloo adopted a unified examination method, so the Waterloo Mathematics Competition appeared.

Waterloo Waterloo Mathematics Competition

Official Name: Canadian Mathematics Competition (CMC)

The International Mathematics Competition of the University of Waterloo is a full series of mathematics competitions covering grades 7 to 12. It is an official Canadian mathematics competition for high school students all over the world. It has a wide influence in the world. It is organized by the Canadian Center for Mathematics and Computer Education (CEMC) of the Department of Mathematics, University of Waterloo, the largest mathematics institute in the world. The competition started at 1963 and has a history of 53 years. A total of 2 10000 students from all over the world participated in the competition.

There are thirteen kinds of competitions, including: Gauss Mathematics Competition for Grade 7-8; Pascal math contest and Flair math contest in the ninth grade; 10 grade gloria math competition and galois math competition; Grade of Fermat Mathematics Competition and Hipatia Mathematics Competition11; 12 grade Euclid mathematics competition; Grade 9 to 10 Canadian Intermediate Mathematics Competition; Canadian advanced mathematics competition results 1 1 to12; Canadian team math competition in grades 9 to 12; Beaver computer challenge from grade 9 to 10; Grade 9 of Canadian Computer Competition to 12. Among them, Euclid Mathematics Competition has the highest gold content among all the projects, and its inspection standards are strict and professional, so it is known as the "TOEFL" test in Canada. It is an important basis for famous universities in the United States and Canada to evaluate the mathematics level, admission qualifications and scholarship distribution of international students.

Different from other international competitions, it not only examines students' professionalism and mathematical ability, but also pays more attention to improving students' interest in learning. The topic of the competition is very solid, from easy to difficult, and gradually improve. Only 25% of the competition topics are highly challenging. Therefore, it is not only children with excellent math scores who can participate in it and get good grades. Is the competition very helpful to improve students' interest in learning and the learning challenges of various subjects?

Gauss (Group 7/Group 8)

Test features: Gauss math contest has a feature, that is, blank questions that have not been answered get 2 points for each question (but only ten blank questions can be given extra points at most). The purpose of this setting is to encourage students to ensure that each topic should be done reasonably and confidently, and not to speculate on uncertain topics or results.

Introduction to the exam: the total score is 150, and the answer time is 60 minutes, with a total of 25 multiple-choice questions.

Necessary items for the exam: required documents, stationery (2B pencil, 0.05mm black gel pen), calculator (computers with network connection, storage, programming, algebra or geometric operation support are not allowed).

Flair (group 9) Galois (group 10) Hipatia (group 1 1)

Test features: Improve students' math problem-solving skills through comprehensive problem solving.

Question introduction: The total score is 40 points, the answer time is 75 minutes, and there are 4 big questions.

Necessary items for the exam: required documents, stationery (2B pencil, 0.05mm black gel pen), calculator (computers with network connection, storage, programming, algebra or geometric operation support are not allowed).

Euclid (group 12)

Test features: Euclid Math Competition aims to help students improve their ability to solve math problems. This examination is a necessary condition for students to apply for scholarships from the School of Mathematics of the University of Waterloo, and it is also a "stepping stone" to enter universities and polytechnics.

Question introduction: The total score is 100, and the answer time is 2.5 hours, totaling 10.

Necessary items for the exam: required documents, stationery (2B pencil, 0.05mm black gel pen), calculator (computers with network connection, storage, programming, algebra or geometric operation support are not allowed).

Due to the excellent reputation and tradition of the University of Waterloo in the field of mathematics, as well as the strictness and professionalism of Euclid's examination standards, the results of the competition have been widely recognized in Canadian universities and are known as the "TOEFL" test in Canada. Among all the contestants, the top 25% students will get a certificate of excellence.

Students who want to apply for the University of Waterloo are recommended to take part in the Euclidean Mathematics Competition. Excellent students can not only improve their chances of being admitted to the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Software Engineering of the University of Waterloo, but also get corresponding admission scholarships (1000-8,000 Canadian dollars). In addition, if students with excellent grades want to apply for other famous schools in North America, the chances of being admitted will be greatly improved.

How to sign up for Waterloo Mathematics Competition?
