Program

ABB Math Challenge

The program will be held in the format of a 10-day intensive training series. Participants will attend lectures, during which they will become familiar with the theoretical material of each of the topics, and the lectures will be followed by seminars, where participants will consolidate their knowledge by solving problems and case studies. At the end of the shift, participants will be asked to write a final work to consolidate their knowledge, the points that participants earn will go to the overall rating.

Participants will be involved in attending lectures and seminars for 7 academic hours (5 astronomical hours), i.e. 7 lessons. There is a break between each lesson, incl. break for lunch.
