Hang
\nLung Properties Limited<\/a> (“Hang Lung Properties”) and The Hong Kong University
\nof Science and Technology (“HKUST”), was held at the Conrad Hong Kong last
\nnight. The Hon. Mrs. Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor, The Chief Executive of the
\nHong Kong Special Administrative Region, a longtime supporter of the Hang Lung
\nMathematics Awards for many years,\u00a0attended as the Guest of Honor.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mr. Ronnie C. Chan, Chair of Hang Lung Properties,
\nsaid, “The Hang Lung Mathematics Awards (HLMA) is our signature community
\ninvestment initiative. I am pleased that HLMA continues to flourish under the
\nnew partnership formed early this year with The Hong Kong University of Science
\nand Technology. We are delighted to be working closely with The Chinese
\nUniversity of Hong Kong, our inaugural partner, as well as other local
\nuniversities and top mathematicians around the world on this meaningful
\nproject. It is very encouraging to see a strong turnout of high-quality
\nresearch reports submitted this year after a long disruption in classroom
\nlearning. I hope that the participation of our young talented students in this
\ncompetition would ignite their lifelong passion for mathematics, science, and
\ntechnology.”<\/p>\n
Professor Wei Shyy,
\nPresident of HKUST, said, “HKUST attaches great importance to innovation and
\nbelieves that knowledge and research will bring about new discoveries and
\npromote the sustainable development of society. We are equally committed to
\nencouraging and nurturing talent development in basic science. We are very
\npleased to have cooperated with Hang Lung Properties in the organization of the
\n‘Hang Lung Mathematics Awards’, which aims to stimulate the interest and
\ncreativity of secondary school students in mathematics research and identify
\nthose with talent and potential in the subject. Looking ahead, HKUST will
\ncontinue to contribute to mathematics and popular science education development
\nin Hong Kong and nurture more outstanding academic elites for
\nsociety.”\u00a0 <\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Professor Richard Schoen, 2017 Wolf Prize Laureate in Mathematics and
\nChair of the 2021 Hang Lung Mathematics Awards Scientific Committee, expressed
\nhis appreciation of the high-standard research reports submitted by the
\nparticipants, “I am very pleased to see that Hong Kong secondary school
\nstudents not only possess outstanding abilities in mathematics and science, but
\nalso have a passion for research. The quality of the research reports submitted
\nby the participating teams to the competition is very impressive to me. The
\nbreadth of topics, the depth and clarity of the solutions
\ngiven\u00a0are\u00a0very high.\u00a0The ability to model and isolate the
\ncentral features of a complex problem, and to develop a language and method to
\nsolve it efficiently, are tools which will serve our students well in the
\nfuture. I hope they could further use these abilities to advance the
\ncentury-long development of mathematics, or apply to the immediate good of the
\nsociety and mankind.” <\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 2021 Hang Lung Mathematics Awards attracted the participation of
\nover 60 teams from nearly 40 secondary schools in Hong Kong. Under the
\nsupervision of a teacher, each team decided on a mathematics topic, designed
\nand conducted research, and submitted a research report. A Scientific Committee
\ncomprising internationally renowned scholars and educators then evaluated the
\nresearch reports in a rigorous, multi-step review process. The teams selected
\nto continue to the final round were invited to attend an Oral Defense where
\nthey presented their research in front of the Scientific Committee.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Founded in 2004, the Hang Lung Mathematics Awards is a biennial event
\nthat encourages secondary school students to fulfill their creative potential
\nin mathematics and science and stimulate their passion for intellectual discovery.
\nIn the past eight editions of the Awards, over 2,400 students from 200 schools
\nhave participated in the competition, and over 400 research reports have been
\nsubmitted. Hang Lung Properties donates HK$2.5 million to each competition, of
\nwhich HK$1 million is set aside as prize money, with the remainder used for
\nacademic consultancy, assessment process, the administration of the
\ncompetition, as well as education promotion activities. HKUST also provides
\nscholarships for teachers nominated by the winning schools to enroll in the
\nMaster of Science Program in Mathematics for Educators. <\/p>\n
