About 3,030 students from all over the country joined the 2014 Young Mathematicians’ In-house Intensive Training Program (YMIITP), conducted by the Mathematics Trainers Guild-Philippines (MTG) to select the country?s best math wizards.

MTG president Simon Chua said 344 passed as qualifiers and 495 as alternates, composed of students from grade 3 to fourth year.

The students will undergo further math training under MTG’s Mathematical Olympiad Summer Training Program (MOSTP), which will be held six days a week for one month starting today, April 21.

“We will further hone their mathematics skills for international math contests,” said Chua.

This year the Philippines will compete in 14 international math contests including in Macedonia, South Korea, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, India, and Indonesia.
