Young Math Enthusiasts, Unite!

To help students better understand the appeal of HLMA, we held two online information sessions in February for about 100 students and teachers. Four of the 2023 HLMA champions – Gold Award winners Kyan Cheung and Ethan Soh, Silver Award winner Chun Hei Mok, and Honorable Mention winner Ho Tung Wong – also shard their valuable experiences at the sessions.

Professor Shing Yu Leung, Chair of the HLMA Executive Committee, stressed that HLMA is very different from other mathematics competitions as it allows participants to choose their research topics. While Mok admitted that choosing a topic is challenging, he said one can often draw inspiration from mathematics blogs and videos.

Professor Frederick Fong, Chair of the HLMA Screening Panel, said all HLMA judges are mathematics superstars, and it will be a true privilege for the finalists to discuss mathematics with them face-to-face. Cheung and Soh said even students can be researchers, calling on them to enjoy the process without worrying about the results. Wong encouraged students to believe in themselves, saying “By continuously researching, you may achieve results you never thought possible!”
