“Mathematics is the language in which God has written the Universe.”
This famous quote pertinently sums up the importance of mathematics in life. Indians particularly, have always been credited with introducing superb mathematical breakthroughs like the invention of the digit zero and the number system as well as the famed Shreedharacharya formula. Albert Einstein once said , “We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to convert, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery would have been made.”
At CMS various international events and fests are organized to promote cross cultural interaction and give the future generations a unique way to interact and share knowledge; the school presently boasts of 26 such mega events.
In order to share our global views and develop the power and capacities latent in the youth of today, and to motivate them to contribute their share to an ever advancing civilization, CMS is organizing the Fourth International Young Mathematicians' Convention, 2010, an international Mathematics contest that seeks to give mathematical expression to the inner creative urges of the youth.
The tradition of organizing events and fairs related to mathematics started in the Gomti Nagar Branch with the 4th International World Youth Mathematics Intercity Competition (IWYMIC) held in the year 2002
After this CMS Gomti Nagar took this event to the next level and organized an international event, the IYMC which took its root from IWYMC. The 1st IYMC was held in December 2004. The event saw the active participation of various international teams, teams from Philippines, Bangkok, Pakistan, China, Taiwan, England, making it a truly unique cross cultural bonanza.
Second IYMC-06 was attended by eminent mathematicians along with participation of 12 countries with 87 teams. In order to ensure that we cater to varied needs without compromising on standards, all events are held under the guidance of experts like Dr. Simon L. Chua, Prof Wen – Hsien Sun, Mr. Mark Saul and Ms. Shobha Madan.
Third IYMC – 08 had the participation of some of the brightest stars in mathematics world in which 75 teams from 12 countries competed.
The Fourth IYMC-2010 is scheduled from 2nd to 5th December 2010. The competition will have events like 1. Relay Round 2. Mathematical Quiz 3. Mathematical Fair, 4. Individual Contest 5. Team Contest 6. Workshop
In this contest students from a number of countries will participate in different events including cultural night.
