The Department of Mathematics of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens participated with a three-member team in the International Mathematics Competition SEEMOUS, which took place from 9 to 14 April 2024 in Iași, Romania.

Beginning in the academic year 2006-2007, SEEMOUS (South-Eastern European Mathematics Olympiad for University Students) is a mathematics competition open to first- and second-year students throughout South-Eastern Europe. For 5 hours, participants compete in four problems drawn from Infinitesimal Calculus, Linear Algebra, Basic Algebra, Real Analysis, Combinatorics, and Number Theory. Each year, faculty members at the NKUA’s Department of Mathematics and senior students who have previously excelled in mathematics competitions prepare those who wish to participate.

Since the inception of such competitions, the NKUA’s Department of Mathematics has had a long history of success and, from 2010 onwards, a consistent presence with first places and gold medal finishes [1]. Every year, the Department attracts numerous students with passion, love, and aptitude for mathematical research. Most of them continue their studies at the best Universities in Europe and the US on full scholarships.

University of Athens

The National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, which was inaugurated on May 3, 1837, was initially housed in a renovated Ottoman building on the northeastern side of the Acropolis. This building has since been restored and now functions as the University Museum. Originally named the "Othonian University," after Otto, the first king of Greece, it consisted of four academic departments and 52 students. As the first university of the newly established Greek state, as well as of the broader Balkan and Mediterranean region, it assumed an important socio-historical role, which was pivotal in the development of specific forms of knowledge and culture within the country.
