Hong Kong Joint School Mathematics Society

🎉 Thank you to everyone who joined and supported the 38th ISMC!

This year marked a record‑breaking milestone for ISMC, with over 600 students from 70 secondary schools taking part. We were also delighted to welcome 70 participants from the Greater Bay Area and Macao, broadening the regional diversity of the competition and reinforcing ISMC’s position as one of the largest student‑led mathematics competitions in the region.

None of this would have been possible without the collective support of our community. A heartfelt thank you to our sponsor, Jane Street, and our venue sponsor, City University of Hong Kong. We are also grateful for the support from the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education, the Macao Mathematics and Statistics Association, and Seeding’s Culture Youth Exchange Centre.

Thank you once again for your strong support. We look forward to seeing you at our future events and continuing to inspire young mathematical talent together! ✨
