Science Olympiads and contests brings spirit of competitiveness to Science education. They benefit best students, engage them with research. Simultaneously Science Olympiads and contests challenge faculty to enhance teaching so that regular student can enjoy Olympiad and contest problems. Computer Science contests become very popular with undergraduate students in recent years. Maybe the Associ...

It is the purpose of this document to familiarize the reader with a wide range of theorems and techniques that can be used to solve inequalities of the variety typically appearing on mathematical olympiads or other elementary proof contests. The Standard Dozen is an exhibition of twelve famous inequalities which can be cited and applied without proof in a solution. It is expected that most prob...

The article describes a new type of Olympiad in informatics, its goals and objectives, as well ways to achieve these goals. Examples author's tasks are given both test the knowledge school informatics information technologies, logical algorithmic thinking participants Olympiad. Special attention is paid principles selecting types technologies for correspondence intramural rounds Olympiad, const...

The American Chemical Society’s US National Chemistry Olympiad program has selected the 20 high school students that will attend 2023 Study Camp. camp take place from June 4 to 17 at University of Maryland, College Park. have already completed local and national chemistry olympiad exams. At camp, they be competing for a on four-member team representing 55th International Olympiad, held July 16–...

The goal of this document is to provide a easier introduction to olympiad inequalities than the standard exposition Olympiad Inequalities, by Thomas Mildorf. I was motivated to write it by feeling guilty for getting free 7’s on problems by simply regurgitating a few tricks I happened to know, while other students were unable to solve the problem. Warning: These are notes, not a full handout. Lo...

OlympiAD was a phase 3 randomized controlled trial of a PARP inhibitor olaparib for metastatic HER2 negative breast cancer patients harboring a BRCA mutation. Although the OlympiAD trial met its primary endpoint, there are concerns regarding whether olaparib truly improves meaningful outcomes for these patients. In this editorial, I examine these issues in detail. An exploration of these issues...

NACLO (North American Computational Linguistics Olympiad) is an annual Olympiad-style contest for high school students, focusing on linguistics, computational linguistics, and language technologies. The goal of NACLO is to increase participation in these fields by introducing them before students reach college. Since these subjects are not normally taught in high school, we do not expect studen...

4. Two brothers sold n lambs at a price n dollars. They divide the money as follows: the elder brother took 10 dollars, the younger one took 10 dollars, the elder one took again 10 dollars and so on. At the end it turned out that the sum for the younger brother was less than 10. He took the remainder and the pen-knife of his brother. The brothers agreed that the division was correct. What is th...

Chemistry has a central role in science, and synthesis has a central role in chemistry. The synthetic chemists should focus their efforts to merge it with other fields to produce more interdisciplinary science. Chemical synthesis has now reached an extraordinary level of sophistication, but there is vast room for improvement. The 3Rs (reduction, recycling and reuse) of resources are particularl...
