Introduction
The activity gives senior secondary students an introduction to mathematical modelling, which aims to develop students' mathematical skills to solve real-life problems systematically. This event welcomes students interested in applied mathematics.
Abstract
Game theory, a captivating branch of mathematics, offers a unique perspective on strategic decision-making, with applications spanning diverse fields such as economics, politics, biology, and psychology. In this workshop, students will have the opportunity to delve into the fundamental concepts of game theory and explore how these principles can be applied to real-world challenges. Through interactive games and engaging discussions, students will gain valuable insights into strategic thinking and problem-solving.
Mathematics Day Camp - Boolean Algebra and its Applications
Speakers
Dr. Kai Leung Chan, Dr. Lily Li Pan
Introduction
The Day Camp is a whole-day mathematics-oriented STEM activity. During the day camp, the speakers introduce the basics of mathematics, such as sets, functions, and logic, and provide an introduction to Boolean Algebra. Participants will apply mathematics knowledge acquired to circuit design and minimization. They will also construct circuits to solve real-life problems in the hands-on activities provided.

Sponsorship for Two Algebraic Courses
Introduction
Starting from 2024, The TUYF Charitable Trust will sponsor two algebraic courses, “Towards Modern Algebra” and “Introduction to Discrete Mathematics”, which will be offered every summer, along with our popular Enrichment Programme for Young Mathematics Talents (EPYMT) organized by the Department. These two courses are expected to attract 80 secondary school students to enrol. Upon completion of the courses and fulfilling the requirements as specified, students are eligible to apply for 1 credit exemption when they study at CUHK. Continuing its support to Hong Kong True Light College, the Mathematics Department will invite the school to recommend three high school students to participate in the course.
Towards Modern Algebra
Speaker:
Dr. Charles Chu Che Li
Content:
This course will introduce the basic concepts of abstract algebra, including groups, rings and fields.
Introduction to Discrete Mathematics
Speaker:
Dr. Ming Ho Ng
Content:
This course will introduce basic mathematical topics, such as the concept of sets, logic, proofs and their applications in various areas including graph theory and game theory.

Elite Student Mentorship Programme
Introduction
The Department of Mathematics will nominate outstanding students in different activities (including EPYMT) to participate in this mentorship programme. This programme will be conducted in a group format, with a supervisor leading several students to explore a specific topic. Participating students will be required to read books or journal papers recommended by their supervisor, report their study progress regularly, and submit a written report upon completion of their studies.
