SUNY Korea's Applied Mathematics and Statistics (AMS) department hosted a Math Competition on November 20th and 23rd, 2024. The event, moderated by Professor Hongshik Ahn, Chair of the AMS department, brought students together for six rounds of intense problem-solving. It was open to all departments, not just AMS students, and followed a golden bell format, where participants who answered questions incorrectly were given another chance to rejoin the main round. Each round came with exciting cash prizes: 400,000 KRW for the first round, 300,000 KRW for the second, 200,000 KRW for the third, 100,000 KRW for the fourth, 50,000 KRW for the fifth, and in the sixth round, five participants who answered correctly were each awarded 10,000 KRW. The event kicked off with lunch and wrapped up after about two hours, ending with a heartfelt speech from the AMS coordinator and ice cream for everyone.
On November 23rd, during SUNY Korea’s Experience Day, another math competition took place, this time geared towards prospective students. The hall was buzzing with energy as contestants eagerly tackled math challenges. Winners received special prizes, and the AMS coordinator once again thanked everyone for their enthusiasm and participation.
These competitions weren’t just about prizes, but rather they created a space for students and prospective students to explore math, connect with SUNY Korea professors, and experience the excitement of problem-solving. It was a perfect mix of learning, fun, and community-building.
