比賽簡介 The Competition

Hong Kong Joint School Mathematics Society was founded in 1988, with aims of promoting interests in Mathematics and cultivating friendship among schools. In order to achieve the above objectives, we are organizing a series of activities this year, the biggest of which is the Cable and Wireless HKT Foundation Inter-school Mathematics Contest.

The competition started from 1988. Through 12 years of cultivation, our participating schools have already tripled from 20 to now 56 schools. The thrilling statistics has proven that the competition has gradually accepted as a priceless opportunity to train students' logical and systematical thinking by many schools' students and teachers. This is also our ultimate goal we strive to achieve.
