On May 15, the finals of the 12^th National College Students Mathematical Competition were held in Jilin University. Twelve students from Nankai University participated in the finals and obtained three first-prizes, four second-prizes and five third-prizes.

For the first-prize winners in the senior-level group of mathematics majors, the recipients are Sun Yuzhe and Tian Zheshuai, students of the School of Mathematical Sciences, while in that of the non-mathematics majors, the recipient is Zhang Chenheng, student of the School of Artificial Intelligence. For second-prize winners of mathematics majors, Zuo Chenchen and Huang Qianlin are the recipients in the senior group, Li Ruiwen is the winner in the junior group, all these students are from the School of Mathematical Sciences; while for that of non-mathematics majors, the winner is Yang Yiming from the School of Physical Sciences. The third-prize winners in the junior group of mathematics major are Lian Xu and Wen Zilong, from the School of Mathematical Sciences; for that of non-mathematics majors, they are Hu Yuchen from the School of Statistics and Data Science, Zhang Zhanshuo from the School of Finance, and Hu Mingxi from the School of Artificial Intelligence.

It is reported that the National College Students Mathematical Competition is a national high-level discipline competition for undergraduate students organized by the Chinese Mathematical Society (CMS). With its aim to promote the talent training in China's higher education institutions to a newer level and press ahead the reform in mathematics courses and teaching, it is expected to stimulate students' interest in learning mathematics, discover and select innovative mathematical talents, and provide opportunities for young students to show their mathematical abilities. The competition has become one of the most influential competitions for university students in China with the biggest number of participants. The competition is usually divided into two stages: preliminary selections in regions and national final; this year the finals had more than six hundred college students from all over China.
