Philippine Mathematical Olympiad 2007-2008

[ubermensch]

The National Finalists chosen from the Area Stage (Nov. 24) are out.

List of said finalists in http://mathsci.math.admu.edu.ph/pmo/index.html

Nagbago na ang format from a few years ago. Definitely much more challenging questions (there's a link to the questions on the same webpage).

[la_flash]

Wow... exciting. Who will win this year?

I browsed on the sample questions... some, I've encountered already before on MTAP competition.

More power to PMO *okay*


One thing though, No MaSci as finalist this year?

[p1215]

Mabuti naman at tinaasan ang difficulty level ngayon. Pag sobrang dali, may tendency na ang mag-qualify ay yung ubod ng ingat at puwedeng ma-eliminate yung may "spark" pero careless ng kaunti. Naalala ko yung PMO Division Level noong 1994-1995. Ang daming perfect scores sa NCR kaya pag 39/40 ka lang at galing NCR di ka pasok sa next level.

[arjunathory]

Naku unti unti ng dumadausdos ang masci down the pit.... this is alarming!

[ubermensch]

i agree p1215.
pwede mong i-argue siguro na kung magaling ka talaga, then you shouldn't be careless. pero di mo rin maiiwasan na maging careless. kung malasin ka, sayang nga, lalo na kung may potential ka pa naman for deep mathematical thinking.

hahaha, pmo division level ng 1994-1995 :glee: did you take it as a junior or a senior? junior ako nun.

if i may just share, that set off a lot of things into motion. sa division namin, nung highest lang dapat ang ipapadala. eh dalawa kami (taga-xavier nung isa, i remember), so dalawa kaming lusot sa regional. anyway, we both ended up sa top 5 ng individual national, and to cut a long story short, nakasali ako sa international math olympiad eventually. all because i was encouraged by my pmo performance (i thought, may talent naman ako kahit paano). i eventually decided to study math, teach math, and right now, i'm doing my math grad studies here in the us.

tapos ngayon, i can't help but think, what if naka-39/40 ako dun sa unang division screening? that could have been the end of the road for me. i might not have given a second look to math as a field of study (i could have gone on to an engineering course instead). all because of 1 point. kinikilabutan pa rin ako minsan talaga :glee:

la_flash and arjunathory, masci ba kayo? baka wala na nung mga nagta-train kasi. last march, na-meet ko sa new york nung math coach ng masci nung high school ako. nagtuturo sa math honors class ng isang high school dun. nung high school math coach ko rin kasi nasa new york na rin (:glee:), at kilala niya nung masci coach. baka walang pumalit. nung math coach ng xavier school nung time ko, nasa us na rin, pero di ko alam kung nasaan siya rito.

[boy_wonder]

Gawd.

Myrich Lim
Sumulong Memorial High School

I remember my former schoolmate's stories about this boy. Sophomore pa lang ata ito ngayon at kahit noong nasa first year pa lang daw ito e tinatalo na ang mga nasa higher levels to represent their school in Math competitions. Malakas daw ito magreklamo sa dali ng tanong, may times na nagyayabang pero baka may bragging rights naman talaga.:naughty:

Hindi ko naman siya kilala personally. Actually ngayon ko lang naalala ang tungkol sa kanya because the school he represents caught my eye. It's is in our city and I had a number of acquaintances who studied there.

Wow, this is the national level! Hey, I have to let this sink in first. Hehe. The school, SMHS, over which I thought my school is (was) superior, is bannered here. Fortunately for them, may estudyante silang ganun. :P

But my support is for them, hehe.

Just to share, ang laki ng frustration ko sa Math. Trip ko ang subject na yan kaso hindi na ata na-develop sa high school ko. I also had my share of inter-school Math competitions kaso di naman ako nag-a-advance sa next rounds. Kulang na kulang sa training (actually, wala talaga). :lol: Tapos, ngayong college, wala naman akong hardcore Math subjects! Nakakawalang-gana. Sheesh, balak ko na talagang mag-shift sa BS Math. Yun lang, wala na rin akong pag-asang makasali pa sa mga Math competitions, hehe.

Anyway, good luck to all the national finalists!

[faaip_de_oiad]

Diba kasalanan ni Atienza kaya nasira ang MaSci?

[mark_mark]

i was once a finalist when i was in HS. :)

[Larry Tan]

Three out of 16 finalists are from Chiang Kai-Shek College, even if there is a change of coaches due to better opportunites abroad, okay pa rin ang performance. Go CKSC...

[frwwxx]

Stephanie Anne Oliveros
Philippine Science High School Main Campus

one of the contestants in IMO 2007 (RP team)

[god_of_all]

i havent solved a single math problem since god knows when... DL ko tuloy yung questions sa site. hahaha. try ko gawin ko sa office. adik. hehehe.

i remember nung 2nd year high school. sa written examination... yung seatmate ko from IS... i didnt know her yet at the time... nagimbal ako sa scratch paper niya. baboy pako nun magsolve eh. as in back to back, punong puno.

when i saw hers, parang tatlong polynomial expressions lang yata nakita ko. hahaha. suffice it to say, I didnt make it noon. the next time i saw her was at a photo in a national daily... member na pala sha ng Philippine Team.

[p1215]

The National Finals is on Saturday 12 January 2008 in UP NISMED.

[zacharaiolsen]

hala, si ephraim stujante ko sa Que Sci yan hehe.. dun ako nagi-intern ehehe. magaling pala siya sa math...

Hello there :wave: I read somewhere that you are THE [SUPER]MAN in math competitions. I am glad to meet you even if it's only in cyber space. :D

I wonder what's the hardest question/problem in this year's PMO.

[la_flash]

This year's winner is a girl. That's good to see.

I believe that there was a study before that males are better in mathematics than females. Wala lang. :lol:

[KuyaDanny]

That may be true, but if they don't practice and work hard they are not going to win many contests. ;)

[ubermensch]

la flash, awww. wag kang magpapaniwala sa mga naririnig mo, hahaha. yeah, i also won my share, but that was a long time ago. also, i feel we've been in the same room before... probably in some math contest from last century, hehehe.

i think this male-female dichotomy is the same as the chinese-non-chinese one, that it's all environmentally influenced. but still, it's nice to see a girl win this one (two girls at that in the top three). before the Philippines' participation in the international math olympiad this year (with Stephanie as one of our reps), the last time we had a girl represent our country was 1996 (a looooong time ago).

kung may male advantage man, it's just a matter of predisposition siguro.

[tyanak_soo]

Wasn't it Borat who said said women have smaller brains? That was my favorite part of the movie. :lol:

[p1215]

Baliktad. Girls ang top 2. Ang tamang ranking ay

1st Place: Oliveros
2nd Place: Sy

[KuyaDanny]

Pinoy ba yung atenista? His name sounds Portuguese/Brazilian.

[p1215]

Portuguese

Pinoy ba yung atenista? His name sounds Portuguese/Brazilian.

[KuyaDanny]

Ano ba yan? Pati sa math contest may import? :D

[p1215]

May Korean din na national finalist.
Pero on balance, a few years ago may Pinoy na umabot sa national finals sa Germany.

Ano ba yan? Pati sa math contest may import? :D

[ubermensch]

Baliktad. Girls ang top 2. Ang tamang ranking ay

1st Place: Oliveros
2nd Place: Sy
3rd Place: de Almeida

i stand corrected. thanks p1215. *okay*

[PsychoticGnome]

Ano ba yan? Pati sa math contest may import? :D

The guy is practically Filipino, he has been in Ateneo since grade school even though they're Portuguese by blood. His family owns Le Coeur de France.

[KuyaDanny]

Ah, OK. Wala bang libreng croissant? :lol:

[ubermensch]

They also posted the top three students from each area (NCR, Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao) in the webpage: http://mathsci.math.admu.edu.ph/pmo/index.html

I'm still asking them if they're going to post the questions.

[la_flash]

@ubermensch, hala, I know you're the best mathematician here. :D
I was thinking even before if we have been in the same room during past math quiz shows. You know kasi the people that I know. :lol:
If you're in my batch, I must say that I salute you. You're a better mathematician than me. Especially now that you almost have your PhD (right?). Kailan kaya ako makakaabot sa iyo? :lol:

I planned to take up MS in mathematics even if I'm an engineer by profession. Wala lang... :bop:

I am also curious with the questions in the final round. Please post it here. Thanks.

[Noodles_Oblique]

Hmmm...WHat will happen kaya next IMO?

[pup2]

Ah, OK. Wala bang libreng croissant? :lol:

Hahaha. Sobrang natawa ako dito. Sinolo ng NCR ang national level this year ah. Hindi na binigyan ng chance yung Zamoanga school na nag top ng sunod sunod a few years back.

[ubermensch]

@pup2: You meant Zamboanga Chong Hua? *okay* Kulang lang talaga sa exposure ang marami sa mga schools natin outside Metro Manila.

@mark_mark: The link is working just fine. I clicked it just now.

@la_flash: Ikaw naman, hehe. Thanks. 1996 ako nakagraduate ng high school. Ikaw, anong batch ka?

@Noodles_Oblique: Sa Spain ang next IMO. Sana may financial support pa ring makuha kasi mas mahal ang pamasahe siyempre que sa Vietnam nung 2007. Kahit Vietnam lang, hindi pa nasagot ng buo ng DOST ang airfare ng lahat at kailangan pa ng support from other private entities. Siyempre, sana may honorable mention at least.

[Larry Tan]

Trivia - the principal & trainer of Zamboanga Chong Hua is an alumnus of Chiang Kai Shek College.

[ubermensch]

^ simon chua? :)

[la_flash]

Naku ubermensch aka superman, ahead lang ako sa iyo ng two years. Ang nakasabay ko sa Math Wizard sa UP ay si Chan from Ateneo. Are you with that batch?

[Larry Tan]

^ simon chua? :)

Yes, siyanga, love na love niya ang Zamboanga school na iyan.

[ubermensch]

For those interested, they wrapped up the IMO in Madrid just this week. Diogo got a bronze medal, yay! The last bronze (the last medal) that the Philippines got was in 1995, 13 years ago. What a relief the Philippines entered the medal tally again.

[p1215]

Yehey. Sana umangat pa in the next few years.

Ano kaya ang kakaibang ginagawa ng Thailand (2 Golds+3Silvers+1Bronze)? Mas maganda ang performance nila compared to Vietnam this year.

Yung rank ng Thailand sa past 5 IMO's umaangat:
2004: #35
2005: #23
2006: #15
2007:#14
2008:#6

Sana magaya natin yung sikreto ng Thailand.

[pokemohh]

grabe ang gwapo naman nung taga ADMU(de Almeida)

Oo nga eh. Napansin ko din 'to. Sana nga magaya natin. Pero masaya na din ako na may bronze ang Pinas.

Pansin ko din na mahusay ang Indonesia sa IPO ha (last year ba yun?). Anong nangyari dun?

BTW, sabi ng mga kakilala ko sa UIUC, big deal dun ang pagka-perfect ni Alex Zhai, na senior sa kanilang university high school. Galing.

[p1215]

Dapat talaga masaya tayo dahil may bronze na uli tayo after 13 years. Medyo naiinis lang ako na halos walang media coverage ito. Samantalang yung mga nananalo sa Sudoku Challenge, ARML, kung anu-ano pang fringe competitions sa China, sa India, at sa Singapore ang dalas ma front page sa Star at Manila Times.

Hindi lang naman ang Indonesia ang mahusay sa IPhO, mahusay din ang Vietnam at Thailand. Ang Vietnam 2002 pa may absolute winner na sa IPhO. Bakit bumulusok ang Indonesia sa IPhO? May mantra sila "2months bronze, 7 months silver, 12 months gold". Noong 1993 2 months ang training nila, ginawa nilang 7 months noong 1995 at 12 months noong 2001. Gusto pa nilang gawing 18 months ang training. Ang routine nila ngayon ay ganito: Yung mga nagcompete sa IPhO 2008, nanggaling yan sa multilevel competitions. Town level April 2007, Provincial level May 2007, National Level August 2007. Ang coverage ng first 3 levels ay panay mechanics pero ang taas ng level. Ang level sa provincial level ay Irodov.

Yung top 40 sa nationals di na nila kailangang isipin ang Grade 13 nila dahil guaranteed na ng Indonesian government na puwede silang pumasok sa kahit anong university sa Indoneisa - walang entrance exam, grade requirements etc. Itong top 40 dumaan sa 2 months na training camp noong September to October 2007. Ang focus ng September-October training camp ay EM. Based on four exams, magtitira sila ng 10. Monday to Friday 8 am to 5 pm ang theory training. Saturday 8 am to 5 ang experimental training. Sunday ang exams.

Yung last 10 nila tuloy-tuloy ang training mula mid November 2007 hanggang last week of January 2008 except for christmas to new year. Ang coverage ng training ay

2 weeks review of mechanics (David Morin)
1 week relativity
1 week thermo
2 weeks optics and waves
1 week modern and nuclear physics
1 week solid state
1 week review of EM (may MIT textbook sa Course 8.02)
1 week na special topics (mainly mga special problem types na panay lasers, o panay superconductors)

At the end of january, magiging 8 na lang yung sampu. Paghahandaan naman nila ngayon ang APhO. Ang gagawin nila sa February to mid-April ay mag-solve ng 2 x 5 hours na IPhO exams 5 days a week. Pag naubos na nila ang IPhO, lilipat sila sa APhO problems.Ang APhO ay last week ng April. Yung top 5 sa APhO ang magiging Indonesian IPhO team.

After APhO ano ang ginagawa nila? Dahil ubos na nila ang lahat ng past APhO at IPhO, pumupunta naman sila sa PhD comprehensive exam collections.

This year disappointed sila dahil 2 Golds+2Silvers+1Bronze lang sila. Mas maganda ang IPhO results ng Vietnam at Thailand. (Tingin ko magkasing intense ang training programs ng Indonesia, Vietnam, at Thailand sa IPhO). Malaking boost talaga sa Asian teams ang APhO participation dahil approximately IPhO level na sila 2 monts before IPhO. Nasa point na ang Thailand na "horrible mention" ang tawag nila sa "honorable mention".

Gusto daw mag IPhO sana ni Alex Zhai para maiba naman. Kasama siya sa last 25 pero hindi napasama sa final 5.

[kalteck]

^^Jerome Khohayting was our highest placer so far. He was a silver medalist in the 1989 IMO . He got 4 perfect 7 ,a 5 and no answer on one. Wyant Chan is a four time Bronze Medal winner (1990,1991,1992 and 1993)

[physicist]

p1215:

Grabe pala ang commitment nila. I guess their good showing is no big surprise to you then. Kaka-inggit lang talaga. Saan naman nanggagaling ang pera nila para sa training. Parang ang mahal naman yatang mag-accomodate ng 40 students for 2 months.

Paano naman ang training sa atin ngayon?

Parang masaya talagang maging trainer ha. :)

Right before going off to college I spent the summer training our first- and second-years for the PMO. Balak ko dati na pagkatapos ng college ay bumalik muna sa high school ko at mag-train ulit, kaso di na natuloy. Oh well...

[ubermensch]

@kalteck: Do you have a way of contacting Jerome Khohayting? I've been asked by the RP IMO Team Leader this year to help him seek out former RP IMO contestants (not just Jerome).

@p1215 and physicist: What's APhO? Asian Physics Olympiad?

Nakakainggit ang Thailand ngayon. Yung Vietnam, talagang expected na ang level of performance nila. Pero sa Thailand ako nagugulat ngayon. I remember mga a little more than ten years ago, pantay ang Pilipinas at Thailand sa IMO, pero nagsisimula nang umusad ang Thailand. Ngayon, talagang naiwan na tayo. :mecry:

Paano ba ang training ng IMO natin ngayon? Di ko na naabutan this year yung marami pa sila (nung na-meet ko sila, down to the 3 RP contestants na). Pero nung marami pa sila at nasa preliminary stages pa lang ng selection, I heard nag-Baguio pa sila for stay-in sessions. Di ko alam kung gaano karami sila nun.

[p1215]

Yung good showing ng Thailand sa physics hindi surprise. Pero surprise yung good showing ng Thailand across the board (i.e.Physics, Math, Chemistry, Biology, Informatics etc.)

Yung Indonesia sa IPhO lang talaga siga - si Yohanes Surya ang sikreto nila. Charismatic at napaka entrepreneurial. 80% ng funding ng Indonesian physics Team galing sa private sources. Yung 20% ay galing sa Indonesian government. Pantay pantay ang level of government funding ng lahat ng science olympiads sa Indonesia pero yung physics team lang nila yung nakamobilize ng malaking private funding.Malaking tulong na maganda kaagad ang results nila at willing i-bankroll for a few years ni Surya yung IPhO team noong una mula sa textbook sales niya. Sa ngayong may publishing house siya, may "multimedia university", Surya Institute, newspaper collumn, network of tutorial centers etc. On any given weekend may 2000 students sa tutorial centers niya all over Indonesia. Kung ano man ang kitain niya sa mga ito, malaking part ang pumupunta sa IPhO funding.

Mas sustainable sa tingin ko ang ginagawa ng Thailand.

Sa physics. Maaga mag-cut kaya walang stage na more than four ang trainees simula 1999. Usually kailangan ng 2 solid months para magkamedal -either 2 summers or April to July kung hindi mag-aaral sa Pinas yung trainee. Kung mas maikli ang training hanggang honorable mention lang. Kung secure yung funding, baka masaya.

Asian Physics Olympiad nga ang APhO. Unlike APMO, you have to fly to the competition site because the competition has theoretical and experimental exams. Ginagamit siyang eliminator ng Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam para sa IPhO etc. Ang China naman seeded ang top 2 at di na papadala sa APhO. Yung 8 APhO participants nila mag-aagawan sa last 3 IPhO slots.

[-jps-]

tanong ko lang bakit si ANTONIO VALENTE MACARILAY na dating RP IMO constestant ngayon ay di pa nakatapos ng undergraduate niya ngayon at classmate ko pa. Scholar daw kasi yung sa singapore dati pero bumalik ng bansa.

[sinomorphicus]

Sayang talaga. Also, my batch in Masci maraming magagaling kaya lang kulang sa funds kaya ayun bumagsak na. Good thing na yung mga masci still continues to shine sa Math club, yun nga lang hindi rin sila makasali sa math wizard. Sana kasi may funding ang government to talented students para maitaas naman natin yung quality ng mga rep natin.

-jps-, di ko kilala si macarilay, so I can't really comment.

Speaking of Diogo and his bronze medal achievement, nakakuha rin pala ang Pilipinas ng bronze sa IPhO, courtesy of Tobit Narciso from Pisay *okay*

The IMO and IPhO teams had their courtesy call at DOST this Thursday afternoon with Sec. Alabastro.

p1215, may mga kilala ka sa trainers natin sa IPhO team natin, o part ka talaga, o contestant ka dati? Kausap ko si Perry Esguerra kanina, and si Surya talaga ang binanggit niya sa Indonesia. O talagang hindi na sikreto ang impluwensiya ni Surya?

yuf yuf, pareng physicist is right again *okay*

and ooops, i'm a ph.d. student, not yet a ph.d. (re: one of your previous questions)

[mikeV]

Diba kasalanan ni Atienza kaya nasira ang MaSci?

Wag kang magalala si Lim na mayor ng Manila.. and i hope bibigyan nya malaking budget hindi lang ang Masci kundi pati lahat ng public schools sa manila... Si atienza kasi walang ginawa kundi maglagay ng ilaw sa kalye... Sana naman tumaas ang rating ng philippines sa IMO hindi yung laging napapagiwanan... So far si Wyant Chan pa lang ata ang may pinakamataas na score sa Philippine team sa IMO.. ewan ko lang si Batiller ng Ateneo... Grabe naman kasi yung mga question s ng IMO.. FYI si Antonio Macarilay ngayon ay kumukuha ng ECE sa TIP manila... un ang latest news may friend kasi ako sa TIP at kilala si Macarilay..

[mikeV]

bat ganun?:lol:imbes na nakatulong yung scholarship,nagdelay pa ng career nya.

FYI.. si Antonio Macarilay ay ECE student ng TIP-manila... dun siya ngenroll dahil maraming macreredit na units... although scholar sa NUS hindi pa rin totally kinaya ng father nya ang lahat ng expenses doon.. ewan ang kung graduating na siya this year..

I don't know the scores, but if I were to guess who among our national IMO reps have scored the highest, I'd say Jerome Khohayting. Siya pa lang ang nakaka-silver medal kasi. Batiller didn't get a medal.

[p1215]

Mas useful na gamitin ang percentile rank kesa raw score dahil pabago-bago ang hirap ng IMO (e.g. Mga 8% lang ang nabibigyan ng IMO Gold. May IMO na ang cutoff score para sa Gold ay 41/42 at meron naman na 28/42). Si Wyant Chan ang may pinakaraming medals sa IMO participants mula sa pilipinas - 4 Bronze medals simula 13 hanggang 16 ** siya - pero hindi siya yung may best performance ever para sa IMO. Si Kohayting yung may best performance (Silver) pero mas consistent si Wyant Chan dahil walang nakuha si Kohayting sa first IMO niya.

Wag kang magalala si Lim na mayor ng Manila.. and i hope bibigyan nya malaking budget hindi lang ang Masci kundi pati lahat ng public schools sa manila... Si atienza kasi walang ginawa kundi maglagay ng ilaw sa kalye... Sana naman tumaas ang rating ng philippines sa IMO hindi yung laging napapagiwanan... So far si Wyant Chan pa lang ata ang may pinakamataas na score sa Philippine team sa IMO.. ewan ko lang si Batiller ng Ateneo... Grabe naman kasi yung mga question s ng IMO.. FYI si Antonio Macarilay ngayon ay kumukuha ng ECE sa TIP manila... un ang latest news may friend kasi ako sa TIP at kilala si Macarilay..

[-jps-]

FYI.. si Antonio Macarilay ay ECE student ng TIP-manila... dun siya ngenroll dahil maraming macreredit na units... although scholar sa NUS hindi pa rin totally kinaya ng father nya ang lahat ng expenses doon.. ewan ang kung graduating na siya this year..


ahh kaya pala. Classmate ko siya ngayon at saka last sem bale kabatch namin siya. Grabe nga siya sobrang sipag mag aral. :):)

[la_flash]

one time lang pala nakakuha ng bronze si bernard chan sa IMO...

tapos wala rin sina stephen chan or whoever that guy from St. Stephens High School na ka-contemporary ko. :confused: Maski yung galing ng Chiang Kai Sheik. I am really bad with remembering names. :bop:

Magaling talaga sa Math si Wyant ah. Di nakakapagtaka.

Nasaan ka diyan sa list, ubermensch?

==================================


I agree with you Noodles_Oblique. *okay*

[ubermensch]

haaay...kahit anong galing natin sa pagcocompute, pagbaligtadbaligtarin man kung kulang talaga sa deeeeeeeeeep knowledge sa number theorems, its useless....

yup, i agree that we should move away from the notion that computational skills are the primary measure of mathematical ability. problem solving and analytic skills are more important. that's why i'm happy with the change in the style of recent pmo questions.

aba aba aba, kailan ka pa nag-shift ng carreer?

at bakit mo naman iniwan si Karylle?

Maganda talaga educational system ng Thailand, they are really serious about meeting global standards in education. Hindi katulad sa Pinas, accreditation na lang ng schools dinadaya pa compliance with requirements.
