Mathematics Society: Competitions Officer

Hi, I am Ali! Running for the post of Competitions Officer of MathsSoc. As someone who have participated in multiple competitions at UCL and in high-school, I know what makes a math competition thrilling. Therefore, I am keen to build a culture that is competitive, rigorous, and most importantly fun.

Why Me?

I bring a blend of management skills and personal experience regarding competitions. Having particpated and ranked in competitions like ICMC and Integration Bee, I know how events are conducted and manageed at UCL. During my highschool, I was also the founder and co-leader of Science Bowl, where I trained and hosted the competition preparing students for the largest national STEM event in the country. I designed problem sets, managed logistics, and lead a team. Hence, I know exactly what makes a competition run smoothly: clear rules, challenging yet creative problems, and flawless execution.

As Competitions Officer, I will aim to bring more interesting and fun compeitions in the society. I intend to bring increased participation for events such as UK Integration Bee and ICMC and keep the society's rigour high by hosting regular competitions.

My priorities include:

• Partnering with other London universities for inter-varsity challenges.
• Introducing Coding + Math challenges and Mental Maths rounds.
• Hosting "Open Categories" to ensure students from all backgrounds can participate and enjoy the thrill of the solve.

Let’s make every problem set count.

Thank you,

Hi everyone, my name is Ares, and I'm running to be a Competitions Officer for UCL Maths Society!

I can safely say that maths competitions have played a large part in my pursuit of a quantitative degree at uni and joining the maths society here at UCL. I love the competitive aspect, challenge and social opportunities that competitions create, and I want to play my part in helping students discover the same passion that I have.

If elected, I’d like to help bridge the gap between casual participants and more competitive problem solvers. For example, we could introduce things like inter-year rounds so people of different experience levels can get involved and compete in a fun way. Working with the other officers, I’d also like to develop unique competition formats so we can bring fresh ideas to the society. I think this would help make our competitions more engaging, strengthen the community around problem-solving at UCL, and make the Maths Society more recognisable to other universities and competitors as well!

I’ve competed in the British Mathematical Olympiad and multiple science Olympiads here in the UK. I’ve also led a team to victory at the UCL x BrainHacQ Hackathon, so I’m no stranger to collaboration and groupwork.

Whether you’re new to competitions or a seasoned veteran, and want to see more engaging, inclusive, and memorable events here at UCL, please consider voting for me :).

Thanks for reading my manifesto!

Hey everyone! My name's Nuno and I'm running for the position of Competitions Officer in the UCL Maths Society. The reason I'm running is because I believe that competitions are one of the best ways to challenge and motivate maths students while promoting teamwork, problem solving and resilience. Having participated in multiple events in the past, like the QRT Maths Competition, UK Integration Bee, and UKMT Maths Challenges, I want to help with creating similar competitions that are fun and engaging for all levels, even if it's someone's first time trying a competition.

If elected, I'd aim to increase the number of competitions at UCL, as I feel there aren't that many currently. I would aim to host a variety of competitions throughout the year, including a UCL Integration Bee and Estimathon, alongside other events in collaboration with different universities and societies. I'd aim for the events to be both inclusive and competitive so that anyone in the society would find them worthwhile regardless of experience. I'm organised, attentive and enthusiastic about both improving the competitions at UCL and creating a supportive environment for students to challenge themselves without feeling intimidated, so please consider voting for me to be your Competitions Officer!
