On March 25th, the final of 7th NationalCollege Students Mathematical Contest was held in Fujian Normal University. YuXiachen, a student from Class 14010 of Department of Information Technology andBusiness Administration, achieved the 2nd prize in the nationalfinals. Chen Hao, a teacher of Department of Fundamental Courses, was the director.This was the highest prize we had achieved in all the national mathematicalcontests we used to attend.

National College Students MathematicalContest was held by Chinese Mathematical Society, which was a high-levelcontest facing all the 4-year college students, and was one of the subjectcontest with the widest impact and largest number of players nationwide. Almost70,000 students attended this competition, which created the record inparticipants.

National College Students MathematicalContest was held in two steps: final and national final. In the final ofLiaoning province, nine excellent players were selected among more than 5,000participants, and Yu Xiachen, a student from our school, was one the nine. Allthe nine selected successful students included four students from DalianUniversity of Technology, two from Northeastern University, one from DalianNeusoft University of Information, one from Liaoning Technical University and onefrom University of Science and Technology Liaoning

In the period of national final, there were190 outstanding players from various colleges around China to compete together.Finally, Liaoning Province won one 1st prize (by Dalian University ofTechnology) and six 2nd prizes.

The winning of prize was the result of boththe effort of students and his instructor. It was also the product ofeducational innovation. DNUI’s mathematical courses were now reformed to vary inteaching contents according to the major, the demand and the students’ levelsunder the background of innovation and entrepreneurial building and TOPCARES-CDIOeducation and teaching reform.
