A breakthrough was achieved that XPU’s student won a national-level award in this competition.
The National Undergraduate Mathematics Competition is one of the largest and most influential math contests in China. This event was hosted by Xi'an Jiaotong University and divided into two groups: mathematics and non-mathematics. More than 110,000 college students from 29 divisions of the country signed up for this competition, including Peking University, Tsinghua University,University of Science and Technology of China, Fudan University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Xi'an Jiaotong University, and Northwestern Polytechnical University.By the division of the preliminary selection, a total of 414 players competed forthe finals.
