Math & education

Transtrend supports initiatives that promote education. Firstly, because inspiring education has enabled us to do the work we are doing; and secondly, Transtrend would not be able to sustain without well-educated professionals. As Transtrend’s roots are quant-oriented, we focus our efforts on quantitative education.

Transtrend is the main sponsor of the "Landelijke Interuniversitaire Mathematische Olympiade" (LIMO), an annual competition in which small teams of students from Dutch or Flemish universities are given three hours to solve a number of math problems. Our task for the 2022 edition of this competition:

For how many of the numbers 1 to 1000 holds: c(2n) = c(n) + 1, where c(n) is defined as the sum of the digits of the number n.

Femke wins Pythagoras PWS prize 2021

Ìn the Netherlands, secondary school children write a thesis for their final school project — their "profielwerkstuk". We are very proud of Femke, who has successfully completed her profielwerkstuk on "higher dimensional tic-tac-toe" with support of Transtrend, and managed to win the Pythagoras PWS prize 2021. This is the prize for the best math-oriented profielwerkstuk of the year. Listen to her story (in Dutch) here:

Perfect score at the final of the Dutch Mathematical Olympiad 2024!

Great achievement by the Dutch team at the International Mathematical Olympiad 2024!

Dutch Mathematical Olympiad

The Dutch Mathematical Olympiad is an annual contest for secondary school students. From the winners of the three national rounds teams are selected and intensively trained to represent The Netherlands at three international mathematical contests, such as the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO).

For young talented students, the road towards such a contest is a once in a lifetime experience. We support paving that road.
