Bangladesh Mathematical Olympiad Committee (BMOC) yesterday accorded a reception to little mathematicians who won bronze medals in the 50th International Math Olympiad (IMO) in Germany for the first time for Bangladesh.
"This is like a dream come true," said a delighted Samin Riasat, one of die two winners of the bronze medals.
"It was a huge hall room where 565 students of my age from 104 countries were trying to find out the solution to an equation. I had a dream of taking part in such a mega contest and finally 1 have done well in the contest," he said. "It was an amazing experience."
Nazia Chowdhury is the other winner of the bronze medal. They along with four others students took part in the competition as a team from Bangladesh.
The four others are Tarik Adnan Moon, Haque Muhammad Ishfaq, Pranan Rahman Khan and Kazi Hasan Zubayer.
Ishfaq said they also got an opportunity to share their views with six world famous mathematicians who attended the competition.
"They were very friendly with us. We shared views with them and they taught and inspired us," he said.
Tarik, who was just one point away from winning the bronze medal, said the experiences of the competition would remain alive in their hearts forever.
Dr Mahbub Mazumder, who accompanied the team members as their coach, said, "They are very talented students and exceptionally well. It has been proved that if the talents of our students are nurtured, they will be the real stars.”
Appreciating the Prothom Alo and Dutch-Bangla Bank for patronising such activities, BMOC President Prof Jamilur Reza Choudhury said they will try to spread the math competition across the country.
"Now we have to work towards materialising our next dream of winning the gold medal,” he said.
