Mathematics stars sought by top colleges
Print Edition
China’s Tsinghua and Peking universities have both announced they will select top students from senior high schools for their new elite mathematics classes.
Peking University said on Tuesday that it will select 30 senior grade two students this year. Tsinghua University said on the same day it would recruit 15 students from both high school grade two and grade three students (those aged 17 and 18).
The two schools said their selections would take into consideration the students’ natural talent in the subject, comprehensive learning ability, and psychological test performance.
In addition to the schools’ independent enrollment tests, the candidates must sit the national college entrance exam and their scores should exceed the enrollment level for China’s first-class universities.
Sun Zhaojun, deputy Party chief of the Mathematic Science Institute of Peking University, said most world-renown mathematicians achieved their major achievements aged from 18 to 40.
The Fields Medal, an international medal for outstanding discoveries in mathematics, limits the age of its recipients to under 40.
