Delegation from VNUHCM-University of Science at the Opening Ceremony of the 31st National Mathematics Olympiad, hosted by Sai Gon University.

The 31st National Mathematics Olympiad 2025 brought together outstanding talents from universities, colleges, academies, and specialist upper secondary schools across Viet Nam. The competition welcomed 90 delegations from higher education institutions, with a total of 650 students participating. The Olympiad serves not only as a prestigious intellectual platform but also as a valuable opportunity to sharpen analytical thinking, apply mathematical knowledge in competitive settings, and develop essential skills for future academic pursuits.

With thorough academic preparation and a dedicated attitude, the VNUHCM-University of Science team competed in both Calculus and Algebra under the guidance of committed lecturers and achieved commendable results.

Mathematics Olympiad – A forum for young intellectuals to shine

Held from 31 March to 4 April at Sai Gon University, the Mathematics Olympiad is an annual event organised by the Viet Nam Mathematical Society, in collaboration with leading academic institutions, and supported by the Viet Nam Union of Science and Technology Associations and the Central Committee of the Viet Nam Students’ Association.

The competition aims to identify and nurture mathematical talents, enhance the quality of teaching and learning, inspire a passion for mathematics among the younger generation, and foster academic exchange among students and lecturers nationwide.

Pursuing excellence through academic dedication

In 2025, VNUHCM-University of Science fielded a team of eight students competing in two subjects – Calculus and Algebra – under the guidance of Dr Nguyễn Hữu Trí Nhật (Algebra) and Dr Nguyễn Đăng Khoa (Calculus). Team members included:

• Competing in both subjects: Nguyễn Xuân Tiến, Thái Đỗ Anh Tuấn
• Calculus: Nguyễn Trí Đạt, Nguyễn Hữu Phước, Đỗ Lê Tuyết Ly
• Algebra: Ngô Vương Nghĩa, Đặng Phước Hùng, Trần Công Minh

With a growth mindset and a genuine enthusiasm for discovery, the team delivered a performance to be proud of.

Notable achievements – A testament to academic training quality

At the Closing and Award Ceremony on 5 April, students from VNUHCM-University of Science received the following awards:

• Calculus:
  • Second Prize: Trần Công Minh
  • Third Prize: Thái Đỗ Anh Tuấn
  • Consolation Prize: Nguyễn Xuân Tiến
• Algebra:
  • Third Prize: Nguyễn Hữu Phước

These outcomes reflect individual academic effort and affirm the strength of training provided at VNUHCM-University of Science.

Sustaining a tradition – Nurturing scientific passion

Through consistent participation and success at national Mathematics Olympiads, VNUHCM-University of Science reaffirmed academic standing with this year’s accomplishments. The results represent both the effectiveness of a training model integrating research and application, and the momentum behind the development of promising young researchers.

In the context of ongoing educational innovation, academic competitions such as the Mathematics Olympiad act as catalysts in nurturing academic ambition, refining logical thinking, and contributing to the training of high-quality human resources for the future.
