Students of 10 universities of our country took part in the International Student Team Olympiad in Mathematics. In general, about 160 students from 35 universities in 9 countries performed at the site of the prestigious mathematical review, including England, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. The competition was open to all interested representatives of the students of higher educational institutions of the world. It brought together undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate students with a special interest in mathematics. In the individual part, the participants were offered five tasks in such areas as mathematical analysis (with topology and set theory), functional equations (including differential equations), algebra and combinatorics, geometry and linear algebra, probability theory. The command part consisted of ten tasks.

The Olympiad was held in order to maintain a keen interest in mathematics, encourage the development of all mathematically gifted students, strengthen friendly relations between students and teachers of participating universities, promote the formation of interpersonal communication skills, as well as expand international cooperation in the field of education.
