This year, Transition Year students took part in the Irish Mathematical Olympiad. This annual event is designed for talented maths students in second level schools in Ireland, particularly those in Transition Year.
Participation in this competition is regarded as very prestigious. Most of the problems require a good understanding of basic mathematical facts and the ability to think logically, but no specialised knowledge is required.
This year two of our students, Grace McGovern and Aisha Pabon were invited to Mathematics Enrichment classes offered in the University of Limerick to further develop their mathematical skills and logic. They are currently attending these classes.
On the 25th of January 2025, the final round of the 38th Irish Mathematical Olympiad will be held at Mathematics Enrichment Centres. We wish them every success in this endeavour.
