This contest attracted nearly 15,000 graduate students of 4,900 teams from 371 universities and research institutes. SYSU sent 22 teams, winning 1 first prize, 4 second prizes and 5 third prizes. Instructed by Prof. Wang Qiru from School of Mathematics and Computational Science, the team made up of three graduate students from School of Information Science and Technology (Wang Bingjie, Huang Jianli and Xiao Jian) won first prize. Han Xinna and Xiao Jian attended the award ceremony as teacher representative and student representative of SYSU respectively.

National Postgraduate Mathematical Contest in Modeling is one of the “National Graduate Student Innovation Practice Series Activities”, sponsored by China Academic Degrees & Graduate Education Development Center of Ministry of Education, with the aim to encourage innovation and team work, and improve graduate students’ ability to solve practical problems by mathematical modeling. Since 2004, SYSU has actively participated in the contest and achieved good results.
