"This year's total score is 3.x, and it's a bit unbelievable that 64 people actually scored zero points for such a simple question," after the competition, one of the contestants became the focus of attention in an interview.
Although everyone lamented that the difficulty of the Alibaba Global Mathematics Competition in the new season has reached a new high, no one has such a big impression like this contestant.
In the final that just ended, none of the 64 contestants got points from the final mock questions, and what the contestants said also made everyone curious, such as the total score posted by the contestants' circle of friends is 4W+ or even 5W+, so how difficult is it?
The Alibaba Global Mathematics Competition was held.
With the continuous development of mathematical knowledge, many competitions about mathematics have emerged in endlessly, especially the "Mathematics Olympiad" is an important channel for talent selection, and various mathematics competitions have emerged in endlessly, among which mathematics competitions have their strict challenges, and in recent years, various mathematics competitions have also shown a trend of increasing year by year, and the difficulty of the competition has risen sharply, but people's enthusiasm for participation has not been affected with the increase in difficulty.
On the contrary, this year's Alibaba Global Mathematics Competition has just ended, attracting math enthusiasts from all over the world to participate in the finals.
The championship officially concluded on October 7, with 516 outstanding participants from all over the world, 12 outstanding Chinese students participating, and more than 30 outstanding students and professionals from around the world.
At the same time, this competition is also the "7th Alibaba Global Mathematics Competition 2021", which attracted mathematics professionals at home and abroad to participate.
Some people say that this competition is the "Olympic Games" and that "if you can participate, you will win", which shows how difficult it is to participate in this competition.
The competition lasted for three months, the content of the competition is also the organizer lasted two months of careful preparation, the competition design is mainly designed in the field of open intelligent applications and other fields of mathematical problems, the final has a total of three rounds of competition, the first and second rounds are all mathematical multiple-choice questions, and the third round of mock questions are very practical mathematical problems.
The design of this mock question is the essence of all the competition, and the mock question type is designed around mathematical problems such as open intelligent applications, and a large part of them are problems encountered in the project.
This mock question is designed to test the contestant's ability to solve problems in practical problems, as well as the deep understanding and application of mathematical knowledge, etc., but the total score is 65 points, due to the high practicality of this mock question, the process of doing the problem is very cumbersome, making people feel like they are doing a project.
The pressure of completing all the questions within the allotted time is also quite stressful.
And the competition not only tests their own mathematical knowledge, but also examines students' foundation and problem-solving ability, which is very challenging.
Math puzzles.
Although mathematics is a rigorous science, the ability to think is very powerful.
The vast majority of participants in this competition are young people, and most of these people have this courage and innovation, but when faced with a problem, they are often stuck on one problem, let alone complete all the problems within the specified time.
It can be seen how difficult this game is, not to mention that the total score of this year is about 3.x, these problems are very difficult to complete, and when you do it yourself, you will find out how difficult these problems are, and the problems that need to be solved are very cumbersome.
Some people sympathize with these people, and some people are puzzled, and the sadness of these people is the hard work of the people who made the question.
Especially for this mock question, it took two months for the person to make the question, especially when designing this mock question, you have to integrate some problems of the project into it, and then write the question, in this process, it often takes a long time to write the question, and even some people will be stuck on it, which requires very high creative ability.
However, the number of participants in the semi-finals of the competition has also shrunk from 400,000 to more than 2,000, which can be seen from the level of these people, not to mention that before the competition, the organizers also have time to prepare for the exam, so as to review policy changes and other changes.
Before the competition, these people also prepared for the exam hard, which shows everyone's dedication, if they can pay more attention to the practical operation of mathematics in their daily study, they can not only strengthen the theory, but also improve the practicality of mathematics.
Stimulate mathematical thinking.
Mathematics is a subject closely related to our lives, it can be said that mathematics is everywhere, all the time, mathematics not only requires your perceptual knowledge, but also requires your rational knowledge.
After the finals, Jack Ma, Chairman of Alibaba Group, also appeared at the award ceremony and gave recognition and encouragement to the contestants.
At the same time, he also expressed the hope that through such competitions, new vitality can be injected into the development of mathematics.
"We look forward to the emergence of more mathematical talents who can make their own contributions to the global field of mathematics," Ma said.
At this year's Alibaba Global Mathematics Competition, the number of participants was breathtaking.
With great enthusiasm for participation, everyone wants to improve their mathematical level by participating in this competition, which can not only improve their rankings after the competition, but also get monetary benefits, but also improve mathematics.
As the saying goes, the most important thing is not to participate, but to be able to find your own problems and find your own shortcomings in this competition, and then in the next competition, there will be no more such problems.
In fact, the Alibaba Global Mathematics Competition is not only held to improve the learning level of participants, but also to improve the mathematical ability in various fields and cultivate more mathematics students.
The holding of this kind of international competition has pressed the international style to the extreme, stimulated the attention and love of the masses of people for mathematics, completely changed people's views on mathematics, and was more able to stand on the top of the world and have the ability to make more contributions to the world.
There are not only older students in the field of mathematics, but also many post-90s students, although they are not very old, but their actual knowledge is very strong, and there are hundreds of players in IELTS, which shows that the knowledge of mathematics is also very deep.
Although the Alibaba Global Mathematics Competition has come to an end, the opening of the Alibaba Global Mathematics Competition is truly meaningful, and I hope that they on the stage can become the people who lead the development of mathematics.
epilogue
In fact, the mathematics competition is not only a competition, but also a feast of learning and communication, in which everyone is contributing to the strength of mathematical people, and the exchange and learning between various contestants is a respect for mathematical people, and at the same time, it can also stimulate their mathematical thinking and contribute to the development of the entire mathematical field.
