1.What is the difference of competition format between Shing-Tung
Yau High School Mathematics Awards and the International
Mathematical Olympiad?
The Awards encourages innovation, so that students are free to
choose the subject and do the research in the open-ended
competition. Finally, they will submit their dissertations.
Different from the format of The International Olympic Math
Competition, The Awards attaches more importance to the overall
qualities of innovation, teamwork spirit etc.
2.Since it is an open-ended competition, how will you prevent
plagiarism and ensure the fairness?
Each submitted dissertation will go through three stages of
assessment. In each stage, experts in the corresponding field will
be invited to make rigorous reviews. In the final stage, there will
be the live oral defense and presentation. Only after all the three
stages the most outstanding recipient can be selected for The
Awards.
