Miguel Ángel Hernández Lorastudent of the Technological Institute of Santo Domingo (Intec), he became the first Dominican to participate and be recognized in the International Mathematics Competition (BMI), considered one of the most demanding and prestigious university olympics in the world.
According to a press release, Hernández Lora obtained recognition after overcoming contestants from recognized universities such as Eth Zürich (Swiss), Rwth Aachen (Germany) and the St. Petersburg State University (Russia).
Of the 434 participantsonly four proceeded from Latin American countries, and Miguel Ángel He was the only Dominican representative.

This IMC edition has been classified as one of the most competitive To date, both for the number and level of the participants and for the evaluation criteria, more rigorous than in previous years.
In that context, Miguel Ángel He highlighted the work done and managed to position the Dominican Republic in it global map of the mathematical talent.
Call support this initiative
The young man called the public institutions and private To follow supporting These types of initiatives in order to open more opportunities for young people to participate in future editions.
What is the International Mathematics Competition (BMI)?
International Mathematics Competition for University Students (BMI) is a Annual competence that brings together university students around the world to solve problems high level in areas such as algebra, analysis, geometry, combinatorial and numbers theory.
- It takes place in Bulgaria For more than 30 yearsorganized by University College London (UCL) and the American University in Bulgaria (AUB).
During two daysparticipants face 8 mathematical problems advanced, with solutions which must be rigorous and detailed, at the level of scientific publications.
The competition grants Gold medals, silver, bronze and honor mentions, according to the score obtained.
Universities like Harvard, Cambridge, MitOxford, Moscow State University, and Eth Zürich They participate regularly.
