International Mathematics Summer Camp-IMSC

This year's IMSC included distinguished guest lectures from rising stars or well established world class mathematicians and educators such as Zilin Jiang (Tempe, AZ, USA), Zhengwei Liu (Beijing, PRC), Po-Shen Loh (Pittsburgh, PA, USA), Vladimir Markovic (Beijing, PRC), and Yuval Peres (Beijing, PRC).

The second excursion students, leaders, instructors, and staff enjoyed was at the West Mountain Trail of Yanqi Lake.

Yanqi (Wild Goose) Lake is located about 70 kilometers from downtown Beijing. Situated to the north of the majestic Great Wall, this clear blue lake is nestled among small mountains and surrounded on all sides by beautiful scenery. At present, Yanqi Lake has been developed into a waterside amusement park where visitors can experience all sorts of on-water entertainment such as paddle boats, speed boats and water slides. While playing in, on and around the water you can also take a moment to enjoy the natural scenery and breathe in the countryside's fresh air.

One of the first excursions of the participants at this year's IMSC was at the scenic area of the Mutianyu Great Wall of China.

With a long history which spans over 1400 years, Mutianyu is a section of the Great Wall of China located in Huairou district and it was reconstructed during the early days of Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) on the ruins of the wall built during the Northern Qi Dynasty (550-557). The Mutianyu section of the Great Wall served as the Northern barrier defending the capital Beijing.

This year's camp featured a new type of lectures: the IMO Showcase lectures led by the instructors.

These lectures are aimed at all students and leaders and they were centered around a previous IMO problem.
