Schoolboy from Karaganda became the third at the International Balkan Olympiad in Mathematics

Karaganda resident Zhanarys Tendikov, a graduate of the 9th grade of the boarding lyceum No. 1 "Bilim-Innovation", took third place at the International Balkan Olympiad in Mathematics. The national team in the city of Tirana (Albania) was represented by six Kazakhstani winners and prize–winners of this year's Republican Olympiad. A total of 126 young mathematicians from 20 countries competed.

The International Balkan Olympiad (JBMO) is a mathematical competition for students in the countries of the Balkan Peninsula. Kazakhstan took part in it as a guest country, since geographically it does not belong to South-Eastern Europe.

Zhanarys Tendikov, a student of the Karaganda boarding Lyceum No. 1 "Bilim-Innovation", became the bronze medalist of prestigious intellectual competitions.

– I participated in the International Olympiad for the first time. It was held at a high level. I have been preparing for the competition for about two months under the guidance of mathematics teacher Kabylkair Kayrolla. I got a good experience and an incentive to continue studying mathematics," Zhanarys Tendikov shared.
