The Mathematics Circle, an organization under the Division of Physical Sciences and Mathematics (DPSM) at the University of the Philippines Visayas, recently orchestrated its yearly major event - the Interschool Mathematics Quiz Bee. Drawing participation from approximately 40 schools spanning elementary to high school levels across the region, the Quiz Bee showcased the elegance and versatility of mathematics.
The event was not just a competition but a celebration of mathematical prowess, made possible by the generous support of major sponsors such as Dr. Arnel Tampos, Ms. Dina Barrios, Asst. Prof. Edelia Tentativa Braga, and many others who are alumni of the UPV Mathematics Circle. Their contributions, along with the support of minor sponsors and partners like UPV Elektrons, Bangs’ Cocktail Mixes, and Sulu Garden Miagao, underscored the community's commitment to promoting mathematics education.
Capturing the moment of triumph, photos and highlights from the event were shared, celebrating the successes of participants, coaches, and judges. The UPV Mathematics Circle expressed its gratitude to everyone who played a part in making the event a success, emphasizing that such achievements are calculated one problem at a time.
A highlight video from the Interschool Math Quiz Bee 2024 was released, allowing those who could not attend to experience the thrill of the competition.
Since its inception in 1988, the UPV Mathematics Circle has been at the forefront of promoting mathematics in the Philippines. The Interschool Math Quiz Bee 2024 is a reflection of this enduring mission, inspiring a new generation of students to explore the limitless possibilities of mathematics. As we look forward to next year's event, the UPV Mathematics Circle remains a beacon of mathematical excellence, uniting and inspiring minds in the pursuit of knowledge.
