The forum discussion centers on a calculus math contest at a university, highlighting the experience of a participant named Zaid. Zaid successfully qualified for the next stage of the competition, which focuses on foundational topics such as differentiation, limits, continuity, and integration. Despite facing challenges in the second stage, Zaid expressed a preference for learning over training for competitions, emphasizing the value of acquiring new knowledge rather than solely focusing on competitive success.
PREREQUISITESThis discussion is beneficial for university students participating in math competitions, educators interested in competition formats, and individuals seeking to balance competitive success with a passion for learning.
Great that you are having such contests. Best of luck!ZaidAlyafey said:We are having a math contest on calculus at our university, hope me the best luck :D
MarkFL said:Does the contest cover all areas of undergraduate university mathematics?
I like Serena said:Good luck!
Will you let us know what the result is?
ZaidAlyafey said:I have qualified to the next stage which will take place after 10 hours.
Gratz! May the force be with you!ZaidAlyafey said:I have qualified to the next stage which will take place after 10 hours.

haha:P I need to find something cooler :P I can't just change it, that's why I don't got anything right now;) You maybe should check this http://browse.deviantart.com/art/Math-85457717 as well(Rofl)I like Serena said:I've been puzzling about your "Regards,".
To be consistent with chisigma's $\chi$ $\sigma$, it should be followed by something like $\pi$ $\tau$, which is rather appropriate I guess. ;)

ZaidAlyafey said:I didn't make . It all went wrong during the second stage :(
I like Serena said:That's a pity.
Will there be another opportunity?
ZaidAlyafey said:Maybe the next semester .
I like Serena said:Aha!
Will you be training for it?
ZaidAlyafey said:No , I wouldn't spend my life training for competitions . I prefer to learn new interesting things. I realized that learning new things is by far more interesting than becoming a machine to compute things .
