On May 28, the final results of the 14th Chinese Mathematics Competitions hosted by the Chinese Mathematical Society and undertaken by Guangdong University of Technology were announced. Students of Nanchang University performed well: Wang Xinpeng, won the first prize in the final, Zou Boxuan, Deng Haoyang, and Wang Jianyuan won the second prize, and Wu Chiqin won the third prize.

This is the first time after a lapse of seven years that NCU students won the first prize again in the final of national mathematics competitions. In the final, the individual and overall performance of Nanchang University came out on top among participating universities of Jiangxi Provinces. The competition not only demonstrated NCU students’ positive and undaunted spirit, but also tested the teaching quality of mathematics courses of the university.

The Chinese Mathematics Competitions (CMC), sponsored by China Mathematical Society, is a national high-level competition for undergraduates. The competition is held once a year since October 2009. It is hosted by major universities across the country and has been successfully held for 14 times so far. It is reported that the competition this year (the 14th CMC) has a total of 1,024 participating colleges and universities, and the number of applicants exceeds 230,000. After intense preliminaries and finals, only 0.38% of the contestants can win national prizes.
