Description:
COURSE AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: The main aim of the course is preparing students for international competitions in mathematics. In addition to reviewing the undergraduate material, the participants will gain familiarity with a variety of techniques, ideas and certain tricks for solving original mathematical problems. Other objectives of the course are: promoting the general mathematical culture to interested students, introducing better students to the scientific research, and encouraging students for self-guided study and practice.

COURSE DESCRIPTION AND SYLLABUS: The actual topics vary from year to year, depending on the structure and interests of the audience and the actuality of the topics themselves.
