WMC learning content

for conceptual understanding

  • Up
  • WMC learning content

Challenging questions usually arise from the required problem-solving involved, rather than the level of content knowledge. An ideal question is one that nearly every participant would understand the solution of, even though they may not have seen how to solve it in the first instance.

The Confidence Round has 5 sections of 8 questions each. These 5 sections are:

  • Arithmetic
  • Algebra and Geometry
  • Calculus
  • Experimental Sciences
  • History (one century, prescribed for each WMC season)

The century for season 2020-21 is the twentieth. The work from any of the following mathematicians will form the questions in the History section:

A.N. Whitehead Alan Turing Alanzo Church Alexander Grothendiek Andre Weil
Andrey Kolmogorov Benoit Mandelbrot Bertrand Russell Claude Shannon David Hilbert
Emmy Noether G.H. Hardy Gerd Faltings J. E. Littlewood John Nash
John von Neumann Julia Robinson Yuri Matiyasevich Kurt Godel Nicolas Bourbaki
Paul Cohen Paul Erdos Srinivasa Ramanujan Thomas Hales Wolfgang Haken

These lists aim to offer all potential participants a feel for the level of mathematical knowledge expected, and hence help them make a reasoned decision on their suitability in becoming a participant.
