As I, Yesaal Akhund, reflect upon my exhilarating experience in the Math Olympiad, I can confidently say that Mathematics can be a riveting and enjoyable subject rather than a daunting and stress-inducing one. The event took place on February 23rd 2023, at Jubilee Campus in Karachi, and I was privileged to be a part of it.
The competition’s objective was straightforward: the team with the highest number of accurate answers would emerge victorious. Each team comprised three participants and a backup member, and representing the Qasimabad Campus were Juman, Manav and Sheryriar.
The Mathematical problems appeared deceptively straightforward yet subtly intricate. Although all the teams fared exceptionally well in Round One, Round Two was an intense, nail-biting battle. Despite the tough competition, we managed to clinch the third position, although the Johar Campus team came out on top with an impressive score of 195 points.
I extend a massive shout out to our extraordinary Mathematics teachers who went above and beyond to support us. Our teachers devoted their time and effort to conduct daily practice sessions that enabled us to excel in complex equations. As I pen down my thoughts, I feel immensely proud of our teachers, whose unwavering dedication played a significant role in helping us secure a coveted spot in this highly anticipated competition.
