About Yourself
Please tell us about yourself by answering the following questions (the boxes will grow as you type).
Have you ever participated in a special programme in mathematics or science before? If so, please tell us briefly about that experience.
Tell us about any other mathematical experiences you have had. For example, have you ever done a special mathematics project, or entered a mathematical competition?
The programme is conducted entirely in English, therefore all participants must have a good command of written and spoken English. Describe how you meet this criterion.
Please tell us about something you have achieved during this last year, (maths or non-maths related) of which you are particularly proud.
How are you likely to spend your summer if you are NOT able to participate in PROMYS Europe?
After trying the application problems, tell us which was your favourite problem and why. Describe your process of working through the problem and what drew you to it in particular.
Problem Set
Please upload your Problem Set solutions as a single PDF no larger than 20MB.
To upload, please 'Choose File' then click 'Upload'.
If your solutions are handwritten, be sure the scanned copy you are submitting is legible. We recommend using black ink and wide margins, to enable us to read your solutions most easily.
Upload requirements
Please sign to affirm that the problem set solutions are all entirely your own work.
