Recently, the final of the 16th Chinese Mathematics Competition for College Students were successfully concluded at Zhejiang Normal University. This Competition is hosted by the Chinese Mathematical Society and is one of the largest and most influential college students' mathematics competitions in China. The preliminary rounds of this competition covered 32 competition areas across the country, attracting more than 320,000 students from 1,223 universities across the country, including Peking University, Tsinghua University, Zhejiang University, and Fudan University, and the number of participants hit a new record. After layers of selection, more than 1,200 students from 352 universities across the country entered the finals, and the final entry rate was less than 0.4%.

Students from the mathematics major of the College of Mathematics and Physics achieved the best results in history in this mathematics competition. In the preliminary rounds of this competition, our school won a total of 38 national awards in the mathematics major group, including 10 first prizes and 16 second prizes. Among them, Xia Junan and Liu Yingshan won the first and second place in Beijing in Group B of the Mathematics Major, respectively, and were successfully selected by the Beijing team to participate in the national finals. In the national finals that ended recently, Liu Yingshan won the second prize in the senior group of the mathematics major, and Xia Junan won the third prize in the junior group.

In recent years, the mathematics competition innovation team of the College of Mathematics and Physics has deeply implemented the "Mathematics Talent Program", and provided diversified growth paths for students across the school through innovative measures such as optimizing the mathematics curriculum system, personalized competition coaching, and scientific research training. The results of this competition are not only a full affirmation of the teaching quality of our school's mathematics major, but also demonstrate the remarkable results of the concept of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and integrating competition and teaching.

In the future, the College of Mathematics and Physics will continue to deepen education and teaching reforms, improve the full-chain training system from basic courses to innovative practices, focus on strengthening the construction of the teaching staff and optimizing personalized training programs, provide strong support for the cultivation of more innovative mathematical talents, and contribute more to the development of national basic disciplines.
